The waterfall is about ten meters high. It is located in Cantejeira (or Cantexeira), a town that belongs to the municipality of Balboa, in the Ancares region. There are several routes to reach the waterfall. One option is from Trabadelo, following a path that passes through the Paradela neighborhood and the Pontón de Paradela. Although the path is uneven, it is relatively easy and offers panoramic views of the valley and dense forests of oaks and hazelnuts.
If you have the opportunity to visit it, you will surely enjoy its natural beauty! 😊🌿🌊

Impressive waterfall that is worth visiting. Route for all audiences. Later in town there is a very cool palloza - bar.
