Cascadas de Oneta

Cascadas de Oneta is a waterfall system made up of three connected drops that wind through thick forest. The highest cascade, La Firbia, tumbles down multiple tiers and creates a scene of spray and moss-covered rocks around it.

An old water mill building nearby shows how communities once harnessed the water power for work. This use of flowing streams was common in Asturian settlements and shaped where people built and lived.

The falls are woven into how locals and visitors connect with nature and outdoor activity in the region. People come here to experience the raw power of moving water in a forest setting.

A marked path runs from Oneta village to the falls and is about 1.5 kilometers long with clear signs. Along the way you will find several spots to stop and view the different cascades from different angles.

Each of the three falls has its own name and level of accessibility, with distinct geological features and difficulty grades. Visitors often notice that the water color changes with the season and rainfall, making each visit look different.
