To get to Liñares, start out from A Lama and take the Gaxate road from Pontecaldelas through Xende or start in Paradela and follow the mill channels. In Liñares continue on foot along a signposted trail to reach the waterfall.

The River Oitavén, known as the Xesta at its headwaters, has its source in the Serra do Suido mountains and forms several waterfalls after Liñares, including the A Freixa, which flows through granite rocks surrounded by thick riverside forests and oak woods and is located on the PR-G24 A Freixa hiking trail.
