The Rego do Poio, which creates the waterfall, flows into the nearby Ría de Pontevedra.
The waterfall is positioned in a transition zone between the coastal lowlands and the mountainous terrain of the Serra do Castrove.
The site is part of a broader network of small, lesser-known waterfalls in the Poio municipality that are often grouped for local eco-tourism routes.
Fervenza A Feixa is a natural waterfall located in the Campelo area of Pontevedra, Galicia. The site features a series of cascades formed by the Rego do Poio stream as it descends through a forested valley. The waterfall is accessible via a short hiking trail that leads directly to the base of the falls. Vegetation surrounding the site is characteristic of Galician riparian zones, including native oak and laurel species. The area is maintained as a natural public space for hiking and photography. Its proximity to the town of Campelo makes it a localized point of interest for those exploring the Rías Baixas region. Visitors frequently cite the modest scale of the falls and the quiet forest environment as its primary appeal.

Wear waterproof hiking boots, as the path near the base of the waterfall can be slippery and muddy.
Bring insect repellent during the summer months due to the high humidity near the stream.
Visit after a period of rainfall to see the waterfall at its peak flow, as it can diminish significantly during dry summers.
Do not attempt to climb the rocks surrounding the waterfall, as they are covered in slippery moss and are prone to loose sediment.
Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and stay on marked paths to protect the fragile riparian ecosystem.
