Description
Morphology
Constituted by a single and large circular chamber with a slope towards the interior. Almost in the middle of it there is a small descending crawl of scant metres of passage that becomes impenetrable very soon.
At the SE end of the chamber there is an exit to the outside that is impracticable.
The chamber is occupied in good part by a large quantity of reconstructive forms, especially columns of quite important sizes. This fact makes the space of the cave seem to be constituted by different chambers joined to each other.
This, and the fact that from neither of the two known surveys do we have data of the traverse, makes it difficult to specify the real passage and that according to the criteria of each surveyor could vary appreciably. For the moment we have estimated that it could be around a hundred metres.
History
Known since remote times by the people of the region. The first reference that we know is the one given by Joan Ferraté who, with companions from Reus, visited it on 25 July 1908.
Around 1934 or 1935, during one of his many campaigns in this area, N. Llopis Lladó visited and surveyed it.
In 1947 it began to be visited (Español, Mateu, Montadas) with biospeleological interest.
Over the years it has been a cavity quite visited both by speleologists and by curious hikers, although it is not very documented.
