The Pincheira de Fervenza, also known as Pincheira de Portomao, is a 25-meter high waterfall located very close to the village of Fervenza, about 7 kilometers from O Barco. After leaving the car in the designated area, we will access the pincheira after walking 2.5 kilometers from the village of Fervenza to this spot along a dirt track that runs between meadows and chestnut trees.

In the middle of the path, we will find the Miradoiro da Pincheira with impressive views of the Sil valley.

The pincheira, situated in a natural setting of great beauty, can be seen at any time of the year as it always has water regardless of the season. The last few meters that bring us closer to it offer impressive views of the clay hill that leads us to the waterfall. On that hill are the remains of an old blacksmith’s shop that was the origin of the village of Fervenza. In the middle of the path from Fervenza to Pincheira de Portomao, we will find a left turn that indicates the distance to the village of Correxais. If we take the turn, we will walk 3 kilometers along a mountain path until we reach the village in question, and in the middle, we will find a handmade bench/viewpoint by the villagers of Fervenza that will offer us breathtaking views of the Sil river valley as it passes through O Barco and Vilamartín.

In the same village of Fervenza upstream from the Pincheira de Portomao, you can visit a flour mill that operated until the 1990s, which can be accessed from the village and from a path that connects it with the path to the Pincheira de Fervenza.
