Small cave with 14 m of passage in the Ingla valley (Cerdanya), discovered and explored in July 1961 by members of the ERE – CEC.

Characteristics

Location

From Bellver one must take the GR-107 heading towards coll de Pendís, going up the Ingla valley. Between the casa d'Ingla de Baix and the font d'Ingla, on the left of the track and above the right slope of the valley, the bauma de l'Ingla should be found, and a few metres above it, at the foot of the cliff, the cova del Boixos.

Approximate coordinates and low-precision location, to be reviewed.
