Caratteristiche

Località

In the Fondo de les Guineus, a tributary of the Fondo de Vallbona. From the Pleta follow the path towards the Puig del Martell and its showy doline (the Camp-rodó). Shortly before reaching it, leave the path and descend, to the left, following some cairns, down to the bed of the Fondo de les Guineus. Follow it downstream for about 150 metres until reaching a very steep drop that forms the ravine. The cavity is located 5 metres above this drop and on its right-hand slope.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity has two medium-sized entrances with a height difference of 3 metres between them. Entering through the lower entrance, a 14-metre shaft is descended, with a jointed appearance and the walls of the final section heavily covered in concretions. At its base and, in a SW direction, there is a narrow passage between flowstones, giving way to an 8-metre shaft where the pit ends.

Concrezioni

The entire lower sector is very well decorated with lithogenic forms of all kinds.

Progressione

Entering through the lower entrance, a 14-metre shaft is descended. At its base and, in a SW direction, there is a narrow passage between flowstones that had to be cleared, giving way to an 8-metre shaft where the pit ends.

Storia

The cavity was discovered by chance in March 2003 by members of the Speleology Section of the Centre Excursionista de Sitges. Shortly afterwards it was explored and surveyed by them and colleagues from the GET of the Agrupació Excursionista Talaia (Vilanova i la Geltrú).
