Description

Morphology

A narrow mouth with a 5-metre drop leads us to a small chamber; a few narrow steps lead us to a pit of about -18 metres with two drops that place us in a gallery with narrow steps and a lot of formation. In the middle of this gallery we find a pit that allows us to reach -51 metres.
