Description

This trail leads to the foot of the waterfall itself but it is worth taking a short detour to first visit the Toxa viewpoints on top of enormous rocks which are an exceptional place from which to take in the waterfall and the confluence of the Toxa and Deza rivers.

After enjoying the views, head down towards the heart of the waterfall through chestnut, oak, cork, and laurel trees in the upper middle part of the path and willow, alder, and ash trees on the banks of the river. A deafening roar and heavy mist from the force of the water greets you when you get there. Look up to view the waterfall which, with its 30-metre vertical drop, is one of the highest in Galicia.
