The perfect chasm in order to enter the world of caving. It is situated in the municipality of Nivar, between the old trenches of the Spanish Civil War and overlooking the reservoir Cubillas and the mountains of Parapanda, Elvira and Sierra Nevada. The entry goes by abseiling 20 meters down, but perfectly accessible for the general public. It develops between stalactites and stalagmites with some very close and exciting steps. You entered this chasm, but you will leave by a different one, which makes it a more interesting route.
