Description
Morphology
The entrance measures 3 metres wide by 4 high. Two parallel galleries immediately form, through which one must advance crouched, given the dimensions of the passage, which narrows at the upper part. The galleries join after 3 metres and one must continue 4 metres more to connect with a lateral corridor of considerable height (4 m). The cave ends about 2 metres beyond the main gallery, where it narrows until it becomes impracticable.
Speleothems
In the lateral corridor of considerable height (4 m) a few stalactitic formations can be seen covering the ceiling and the upper walls of this passage.
Progression
One must advance crouched through the two parallel galleries, given the dimensions of the passage, which narrows at the upper part. The galleries join after 3 metres and one must continue 4 metres more to connect with a lateral corridor of considerable height (4 m).
