The Walk

Vilagocende Waterfall 
The fairy fountain

This is a low-difficulty route, as it is just over 1 km long and moderately steep, so it is easy to do with children. 

The route goes through an environment of native riverside forest, with oak, birch and alder trees, which does not anticipate the pleasant surprise we will receive when we arrive at the foot of the spectacular seimeira, the name given to the waterfalls in this area. From there we can see the Porteliña River flowing in all its splendour, forming this 54 m high waterfall, considered the highest freefall waterfall in Galicia

It also has a picnic area, a fountain and a wooden bridge, as well as the remains of an old mill, which perfectly completes the visit. 

At the foot of the waterfall there is a mist of water in suspension that cools the ambient temperature and we must take special care in the slippery areas.
