In terms of length, the Ulla is the third river in Galicia, behind the Miño and the Sil. All the way to its estuary on the ria of Arousa, it becomes a varied natural passageway that receives contributions from a thick river system made up of tributaries such as the Sar, praised by the poetess Rosalia de Castro, and the Deza. River Toxa 's waterfall is precisely located in one of the tributaries of the latter.

A nice route that can be made on foot joins this river's falls, in the hamlet of Pazos, with the monastery of Carboeiro. The hardness of the stone that crops out in this area results in one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Galicia, given the permanent orballo (drizzle) atmosphere. Surrounded by green areas, moss can fool no one. If water is life, the waterfall represents joy of life in the river Toxa.

FLORA: Ash trees (Fraxinus angustifolia), Alders (Alnus glutinosa), Willows (Salix atrocinerea), Buckthorns (Fragula alnus), Elders (Sambucus nigra) and other riverbank species.

FAUNA
: In the outlet, birds such as the Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoenic1us), Water rails (Rallus aquaticus), among others. Fish: Salmon (Salmo salar) and Iberian Nase (Chondrostoma polylepis)...
