Description
Morphology
The 1.85x1.25 metre entrance, in the shape of a rectangular triangle, gives access by means of a descending ramp to a perpendicular gallery of good dimensions, with a slight inclination towards the SE; on the NW side the gallery decreases considerably in size until it becomes impracticable. The total passage is 29 metres.
History
Cavity that is catalogued for the first time on the map of the Ed. Alpina of 1973. It had been explored in those times by Jaume Puigmal and companions of the Grup Espeleològic d'Olot. In February 1976 it is visited by Oleguer Escolà (ERE - CEC) on a biospeleological research outing.
In the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1978), it appears catalogued with the approximate location and description of the cavity; while in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (2009), with the same data as in the previous one, it appears erroneously located in the municipality of la Vall d'en Bas, since the cavity is in the Vall de Bianya.
Nil Hosta Ferrer and Tanit Sanmartin relocate it again in October 2025.
