Location

Going along the track that leads from the Mas de les Fonts towards Begues, once you reach the small quarry located on the left, the track makes a sharp turn on crossing the torrent. The caves open in the right-hand cliff and to the left of the waterfall, accessible by travelling along the same thalweg. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

On reaching it we find a small concavity of little more than 3 metres open at the base of the cliff. Climbing up from it by an easy scramble, we enter a balcony-like overhang about 4 metres long. Through its ceiling opens an inclined conduit where one can ascend in opposition for about +7 metres, until ending in an impenetrable crawlway. The sum of both conduits is 12 metres.

Progression
