Description

Morphology

Through an entrance of triangular shape about 2.5 metres high one enters a chamber with a high roof that can be climbed about 10 metres until reaching a narrow upper entrance in the highest part. There are still two more entrances, one very narrow, before reaching the highest point.

History

The only references we know are those given by members of the Espeleo Club Tortosa who visited it in the middle of the year 2012.

The name of the cavity comes from that of its discoverers: PEdro and CHUsa.
