Activity description:

An interesting cave formed mainly of gypsum and clay, with different chambers and cavities. The route is done on foot, through water passages and with some sections that require small scrambles and easy downclimbs.

The cave has a recognised provisional vertical drop of 205 metres and a total length of around 1,300 metres, making it the deepest gypsum cave in the world.

Another unique feature of the cave is the presence of a colony of troglodyte bats of great interest, although they are not always easy to spot, as they are the fastest-flying species.

We will be able to observe how water erosion has created different cavities and curious formations, along with several surprises, especially towards the final section.

Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 04:00h
