On its course towards the north, it receives numerous streams that increase its flow. When it reaches Arrasate (Mondragón), it receives the River Aramaiona on the left, which comes from this valley in Alava on the Gipuzkoa side of the river. Mondragón and Bergara, in San Prudencio, it receives the River Aránzazu from Oñati. In Bergara it is joined by the Antzuola from the port of Deskarga. Further downstream from Vergara, it receives the streams coming down from Elgueta on the left and from Mount Elosua on the right.
