Petit avenc de 9 metres a la serra de Prada, Les Valls d'Aguilar

Valls d'Aguilar, Les • Alt Urgell17m9m

Small 9-metre pit in the Serra de Prada, in Les Valls d'Aguilar, explored by GIRES in the 90s.

Characteristics

Location

Going to Taús from la Guardia d'Ares, a few hundred metres before reaching the ermita de Sant Martí, a track leaves to the left heading towards the refugi de Cuberes. Once the meadows of the valley have been crossed, you must keep to the right; the track, after a slight ascent, will place you in an extensive field of dolines where you must take the following junctions: the first to the right (there are some sheds below), the second and third to the left, the fourth to the right (after about 50 metres you will pass between two dolines), the fifth and sixth to the left, the seventh is a junction of four paths and you must continue to the right, going into the forest; after a few metres and after a clearing we find a new junction which we follow to the left. This track, after a long route, will place you at a col from which the valley of Cabó can be seen. You must leave behind on the left a path that would lead to the Clot de Favà. We follow the track for about 150 metres from the last junction to leave it and descend about 30 metres on the right of the track, where we will find the cavity. Approximate coordinates.
