Caratteristiche

Località

Going up the road from Aribe to Villanueva de Aezkoa, one reaches a railing on the right side of the road, from where a ravine with a waterfall at its end can be seen: it is the Latzunaga ravine. To enter it, it is necessary to continue a little along the road until reaching a field of pastures; from here, following in a SE direction, one can descend to the ravine. The cave is located on the left bank of the river, close to the base of the waterfall.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity is a cylindrical passage of horizontal development with an initial diameter of 1.5 m that gradually decreases due to the lowering of the ceiling and the deposits on the floor, which make it impassable. It presents forms of mechanical erosion, which indicates that it may have been an ancient active passage.

Idrologia

After a short course, the streambed becomes confined in the limestones and a 5 m waterfall appears that can be forded on its left.
