Description
Morphology
Descending cavity that crosses a small cliff. The South entrance, funnel-shaped, descends rapidly until it places itself under the cliff in a descending gallery with a low ceiling, around 1.40 m, and a width of about 5 m. After overcoming a small step, the gallery loses slope as well as height.
Immediately afterwards, the cavity emerges again to the outside through a second entrance, wide but with a low ceiling that forces one to pass lying down.
Speleothems
In this area there are some formations, especially at its East end.
History
Faced with the place name Canal Foradada that appears on the maps, members of the Club Esquí Berguedà went in 2015 to Vilada where they confirmed that some people and shepherds of the area knew of a cavity in that spot and went up to visit it (web: engarrista.com).
In February 2016 members of the GE Badalona visited it and carried out the first cataloguing work.
Completely unaware of the previous exploration, in September 2022 members of the Centre Excursionista de Castellar del Vallès became interested in the cavity and visited it again.
