The River Cerves rises in the Serra do Faro de Avión mountains, close to the highest point in the province of Pontevedra. A short distance from its sources it squeezes into a ravine and flows over an astonishing drop, descending from roughly 1000m at Tourón to the heart of Melón at 450m. 

To get to the waterfalls, take the road from Melón to Tourón and pay attention to the signs that show the way to the waterfalls. After the bridge built as a platform to view the waterfalls, you can climb a set of stairs to the right. At the top, the path doubles back to offer views of the waterfall and the river from the opposite bank.
