Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance is 0.35 x 0.40 metres and faces a drop of 2.5 metres in depth; below it there is a narrow passage that gives access to its base. Here there is a sloping gallery with many remains of the excavations carried out by the archaeologists, which leads to a point where the gallery becomes wider. On the left-hand side, after a crawling passage, there is a drop of -5 metres that places you on a lower level, the galeria dels ossos. Back in the main gallery, this narrows again and a new drop of -2 metres must be overcome, currently (2017) rigged with a rope, which places you in a gallery that ends in the Sala Blanca. From the base of the last -2 metre drop there are some conduits that place you on two levels of superimposed galleries, and from the Sala Blanca a small pit can be descended that places you at the point of maximum depth of the cavity at -39 metres.
Concrezioni
In the Sala Blanca there is an abundant profusion of stalactites.
