Description
Morphology
Past the small mouth, a rise of about 2 metres must be overcome, which is descended without equipment; this is followed by a descending ramp that places one in a gallery about 50 metres long by about 5 metres wide, but with a fairly low ceiling, little more than half a metre. At the S end of the gallery is the connection with a diaclase parallel to it; this diaclase is slightly stepped and narrow, with a length of more than 60 metres. The lowest point is found following the diaclase towards the N, where it reaches -34 metres deep.
Speleothems
In this gallery we find abundant formation, as well as the floor full of gours, although quite decalcified.
Progression
Past the small mouth, a rise of about 2 metres must be overcome, which is descended without equipment. In the diaclase we find a first pit that descends about six metres, followed by another of about 18 metres.
History
Discovered and explored in 1968 by Josep Maria Capellades of the AAEEMI de Valls (currently AAEET de Valls).
