The cave is a long fissure that ends in a sump, with a waterfall that activates when there is a strong inflow of water.
Description
Morphology
The cave presents itself as a long fissure that ends in a sump. The cavity itself is very narrow and tends to close up at constricted lakes.
Hydrology
A peculiar feature is the waterfall that activates when there is a strong inflow of water. The cave represents the fossil overflow of the system and activates rapidly in the event of heavy rainfall in the absorption area.
Progression
An attempted dive into the final sump by the GSP in 1994 yielded no results due to the small size of the passages. Some climbs made following the strong air current ended in front of suspended collapses.
