Geography

The stream begins northwest of the mountain top and the caldera of Pico da Cruz (1583 m). The river flows through a narrow steep gorge, some of which has been terraced and is irrigated to support agricultural production. The river flows into the Atlantic Ocean at the town of Pombas. Other settlements along the river include Eito de Baixo and Eito.
