Characteristics

Location

From el Perelló, take the TV-3022 road towards Rasquera; at kilometre 3.86 there is a large lay-by on the left-hand side where you can leave the road and take the dirt track heading in the opposite direction to the one we came from. After 240 metres we come to a junction; we continue along the middle track for 80 metres, where we find a new junction; we take the left fork and, 75 metres further on, we turn off to the right. We follow this track for 1 kilometre until we reach a junction where we park; if a 4×4 vehicle is available, we can continue for about 225 metres along the left-hand track, which is in poor condition; at this point we come to a sharp left-hand bend, and we continue for another 90 metres towards the tail of the reservoir.

To the NW there is a small cave that will serve as a reference point for finding the small path a few metres away; we climb up through the abandoned cultivation terraces, and there may be a small cairn that possibly leads us close to the hole, which is halfway up the north slope, near some pines.

Description

Morphology

After passing the entrance, a 16-metre aven shaft leads us to a wide, high chamber where there is a passage leading to a smaller but very high adjoining chamber, where you can see how the two chambers connect.

History

Located by Joaquim lo pastor and explored by Salva, Cantero and Tomàs, on 22-01-2012.

Espeleoíndex note: Given the location, depth and the brief description provided by the members of SES - CE Puigmal, we suspect that it could be the Avenc del Cau that they explored in January 1961. They explain that in the main pit there are three openings that connect with a parallel chimney.

During the SIE - CEA campaign in 1983 it could not be located.
