Caratteristiche

Località

The entrance, hidden by vegetation, is located about 25 metres above the bed of the fondo de Vallbona, a few metres downstream of the confluence of the main fondos that form its headwaters (el Jardí) and on its right-hand slope.

From the Rat Penat urbanisation we take the bed of the fondo de Vallbona and follow it upstream. We leave the fondo de les Guineus on our left and reach the Jardí. We will have walked about 2 Km.

A few metres before reaching this point we must climb up through the scrub on the right-hand slope of the fondo (about 20 metres), where the camí de l'Àngel towards the Pleta passes (almost lost), and turn to our left, climbing diagonally to the foot of a small cliff where the cave is found.

The entrance is perfectly visible from the opposite slope (Avenc Lung).

At the entrance there was a yellow inscription that read A-20 (year 2000).

Storia

Discovered and explored by members of the SES – CE Puigmal towards the end of the 1950's. Mentioned by Suñer (1960) in a hydrogeological study. Borràs (1974) does not include it in his catalogue of Garraf. It later appears in some editions of the Editorial Alpina map, although with a not very accurate geolocation.
