The waterfall springs from the Cueva del Agua from a height of over 20 meters, at the base of the rocky cirque that embraces the village, originating from an aquifer located in the subsoil of the Páramo de Bricia, and it leaps everywhere, dividing the village into two halves, the Villa and the Puebla, and descends among the stone houses, creating a most photogenic scene.

You might not want to go up to the village because you're too lazy, but once you get there, I assure you, you won't regret it. You can walk up the stairs or bike along the road from the village exit (heading upriver). It's clear that this is a tourist destination because it's home to most of the area's bars and restaurants.

The Pozo de los Lobos in Pomar de Valdivia is a small stone construction that was once used to capture wolves. It is located near the Mirador de Valcabado, approximately 1.5 km away. This type of trap was covered with branches and leaves, and the wolves fell into the well when they were guided towards it. In addition, the area offers incredible hiking trails and spectacular views of the Valderredible Valley from the Mirador de Valcabado. It is a perfect place to enjoy nature and local history.
