Caratteristiche

Località

Follow the track that climbs from the Mascar to the Mola de Catí; once crossed, the descent begins through the NW sector and, after passing the upper scree slopes of the Mola, the track makes a large zigzag. At the end of this, a secondary track branches off to the left towards l'Enclusa; following it, it soon crosses a torrent, the torrent where the Forat del Riu Algars is found. From the mouth of this important cavity, follow the ravine downstream for about a hundred metres and climb (using climbing techniques) the right-hand slope, where the mouth of Algars-2 hangs.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Entry is through an earthy crawl that leads to a pressure tube which, after about 40 metres, makes a sudden turn. In a small chamber there is a raised passage which, through another crawl, leads to the Sala de les Trompetes. Here there are two options: to the left one reaches a crawl and, after several small chambers, the largest chamber of the cavity (Sala Gran). The second option, from the Sala de les Trompetes, is to go to the right, where a fairly comfortable pressure tube leads to another crawl, quite muddy, and to the end of the cavity. The maximum drop is found in the Sala de les Trompetes: + 13 m.

Idrologia

It is an old spring that in times of strong easterly storms can become active again.

Storia

Located by members of the Espeleo Club Tortosa on 13 March 2011, during a prospecting trip in the area. At first it was a square hole, hanging on the cliff and filled in with earth and pebbles. A difficult dig, hanging 50 metres up, was the task of the following weeks to gain access to the first galleries of the cavity. The work of exploration and digging at different points of the cavity went on for a good number of trips until October 2011, when the work was considered finished.
