Storia
Known since remote times. Vilaseca already mentions it in his work (1958) on the nearby Cova de Porta-Lloret.
Very well known by hikers who travel the area, it had not been the subject of a speleological work until the visit of members of the EC Gràcia and the GE Badalona (February 2017) who visit it and carry out a complete cataloguing task.
