Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

For a trip to Posada De Rengos, the Ruta de las lagunas de Caldevilla offers a specific hiking focus. It is numbered PR.AS-111, starts in Pousada de Rengos and is accessible via the AS-15 between Cangas del Narcea and Degaña. The route leads to Laguna de Caldevil.la and passes the Ermita de San Luis. It thus combines a named natural attraction with a cultural point of interest. The route number, starting point and road connection give you concrete reference points for fitting the hike into your travel plans.

Landscapes along the route

The route offers wide-ranging views over the Muniellos valley. The Mirador viewpoint and Cascada de Agua Blanca are also along the way. At this waterfall, the Ruicueva stream plunges down on its course towards the Río Narcea. The Sierra El Pandu and Braña La Trapa are further landscape features along the route. So, in addition to the lagoon, there are several named sights to look out for: a viewpoint, a waterfall and other landscape features. When choosing the route, you can therefore plan around several specific destinations rather than linking the hike only to a single name.

Ermita de San Luis: architecture and tradition

The route passes the Ermita de San Luis. The Ermita de San Luis del Monte is a single-nave chapel with a barrel vault and a portico covered by a wooden structure. The main portal has a round arch. These terms describe different architectural features: “single-nave” refers to the chapel space, the barrel vault to its vaulted ceiling, and the portico to the covered area at the entrance. This makes it possible to connect the hike’s cultural dimension to specific features of the chapel, not just its name. Anyone interested in architectural forms will find a distinct perspective here alongside the route’s landscape attractions.

A romería in honour of the patron saint takes place at the Ermita de San Luis in the second half of August. This date adds a distinct seasonal element to the hiking route: you can visit the chapel as an architectural point of interest or also plan your trip around the celebration. If the romería is important to your visit, check the exact event date in advance. This will keep your plans aligned with the occasion, without treating the route and the celebration as the same experience.

Geographical setting

The Ruta de las lagunas de Caldevilla runs along the edge of the Parque de las Fuentes del Narcea, Degaña e Ibias. This connection to the park adds a geographical context to the named stops and landscape attractions. The distinction is useful for orientation: the lagoon, the Ermita, the viewpoint and the waterfall are destinations along the route; its position on the edge describes where the route lies in relation to the park. This helps you understand the hiking focus through both specific places and its geographical setting, while nature and culture offer distinct reasons to choose the walk.
