Description
Morphology
The entrance, about 90 metres high by 23 metres wide, is regarded as one of the largest entrances of Catalan cavities. It has a passage of 102 metres. To enter, one climbs up a slope of fallen rocks to the top, where the floor becomes horizontal and is occupied by some plants. On the right, an irregular conduit with dripping opens where the ceiling becomes low.
Progression
To enter, one climbs up a slope of fallen rocks to the top. Artificial light is only needed in some of the final corners.
History
