[edit ]

Pesoz is crossed by two rivers: Agüeira and Navia, joining the first one in the second, close to the Doiras reservoir. Navia river is the limit of the municipality with Illano.

Pesoz is located in the confluence of the rivers Agüeira and Aio, and the population is established in the proximities of Palacio de Ron.
