Location

From the entrance of the l'Avenc del Pèlac pit, you must take the left hydrographic slope of the stream and follow a path until reaching a large rock; you must descend through a channel located to the right of this rock until you find a fissure on the left, which is the upper entrance of the Forat del Fum. This fissure allows us to descend the Pèlac drop without needing to hang on the vertical walls of this drop.

Description

Morphology

Through a short and low gallery, we reach another that descends progressively, encountering some steps along the way due to the numerous blocks that form an irregular floor plan. The route is 24 metres, while the height difference between entrances is 12 metres.
