Cova del Massana

Basically, the cave is a more or less oval-shaped chamber with dimensions of 32 metres long by 20 maximum width. The surface area of the chamber can be estimated at about 480 square metres.

It is very low-ceilinged; on average we can say it is one metre high, which means the exploration must always be done crouching. It also has a strong slope towards the S, with a fairly regular inclination of the order of 25-30 degrees. The cave has two entrances. The upper and main one is 4 metres wide by 1 metre high, in the form of a compressed arch. The lower entrance, with a more awkward access, connects towards the S with a rock-sheltered surface.

Excavated in conglomerate, the whole ceiling coincides with a bedding plane where the conglomerate appears bare. The floor of the upper half of the cave is occupied by clay, very slippery when wet given the strong slope of the floor. In the lower half of the cave blocks dominate and the floor is dustier.

The ceiling coincides with a bedding plane where the conglomerate appears bare, except for some stretch with incipient concretion formation.

We will take the path that climbs to the collet de Puigseguí and from there continue along a path (yellow paint) that after some descents and ascents crosses the torrent resulting from the confluence of the three canals Males. Just after crossing, a small path starts on the right that goes up the torrent on the left (hydrographic right). You must be attentive, since the small path is quite lost; some sporadic blue paint marks help us.
