Access to the area where the village is flooded is via a dirt road used privately by the former residents of Vilarinho da Furna and closed by a barrier. Access by car is sometimes possible in the summer months for a fee. The rest of the year access is only possible on foot.

The dam dams the River Homem into a reservoir. The dam and the associated reservoir are located on the edge of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. About 1 km southeast of the dam is the municipality of Campo do Gerês. The project to build the dam began in 1966. The construction was completed in 1972. In addition to generating electricity, the dam also serves as flood protection.
