The route ends at the old Ferrería de Bogo (also known as Ferrería de Vilaboa), founded in the year 1534 by the gentleman Pedro de Miranda. This ethnographic set comprises: a small reservoir with a waterfall and the feeding channel to divert water from the river to the banzado, (water tank) powering the forge with mallet, bellows and a small power plant.
