Waterfall of o Toxa

Nature · Silleda, Deza, Pontevedra

A waterfall on the Toxa river in the parish of Pazos, municipality of Silleda, with a drop of more than 60 metres, located in a spot of great scenic value in the comarca of Deza, next to the monastery of San Lourenzo de Carboeiro, founded in the 10th century by the counts of Deza. The meeting of the oceanic and Mediterranean climates allows for varied vegetation of oaks, birches, cork oaks and laurels, and the riverside forest surrounding the waterfall is home to species such as the otter, the kingfisher, the badger and the peregrine falcon, as well as trout that attract numerous anglers. It can be reached from the N-525 road by taking the La Bandeira turn-off towards Pazos, near Merza.
