Location

In the serra del Cairat, climbing towards the coll de Cassot.

Following the path that climbs towards the coll del Cassot below the high-tension line and that has led us to l'Escletxa del Paradís and to l'Avenc del Rat-Penat, we will continue climbing towards the second tower and shortly before arriving, when the path begins to level out, the pit must be sought on the right in the very middle of a large pile of blocks.

Approximate coordinates and difficult location.

The topography section includes a map prepared by Xavier Badiella on which most of the cavities of the area are located and which can help with its location.

Morphology

The entrance, in the form of a collapse, gives way to a gallery that leads to a 3 metre drop that leaves us in a fissure 7 metres long, descending slightly towards the E, down to 10 metres of depth.
