Description
Morphology
The entrance opens about 3 metres above the ground, but is easy to access. A crawlway gives way to a chamber that has been divided into several parts due to the quantity of formations, forming barriers. On the left we find one that continues parallel to the chamber, while on the right we find another in a perpendicular direction; at the back and on the S side, the gallery continues in a SW direction, following the same pattern as regards formations, but it is only accessible to people of a rather small physical build, unless part of the formation is broken to gain access. We have chosen not to pass and to preserve it as it is.
History
The coves del Garriga have been known locally at les Sansuies since time immemorial. Erroneously, in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya. Vol 2 (1978) they were cited as caves no. 1 and no. 2 of the Cativera, when la Cova de la Cativera cited in the old catalogues is none other than the one known as Avenc de la Cativera (pit of la Cativera).
