Approximately 45 km long, the Homem River rises in the Serra do Gerês and is a tributary of the Cávado River.

The Municipality of Amares is located on the left bank of this river. There are several leisure areas and beautiful landscapes.

It is crossed by the Ponte de Rodas, connecting Caldelas to Vila Verde.

This bridge is classified as a National Monument. Of public civil architecture, built in the Middle Ages, it is a living testimony to the ancestry of the Municipality of Amares and is composed of a flat deck over three unequal arches, with two buttresses with triangular contour carving and rectangular contour butcher block.
