Description

From San Cosme, in Barreiros, take the A Insúa road and then the LU-P-6103 road towards the village of Berreiros. You will see a sign at Km 15 for Santo Estevo do Ermo.

We recommend you park there and continue on foot for 1,300m on a dirt trail that leads to the chapel of Santo Estevo. This is a small rectangular building where, every Easter Monday, a romería procession is held in honour of the saint. There is an area with benches, tables, and grills next to it where you can take a breather.

You next enter a forest of oak, chestnut, and birch trees and walk to the base of the waterfall, which falls from a height of 15 metres. To the right of the waterfall some stairs lead to the Fuente de Santa Rosa spring, whose waters are believed to have healing properties for skin conditions.
