Itinerary description

[Català] Bonica cova volcànica. L'entrada és lliure.

En aquesta ruta es va començar al parking, es va caminar per la superfície fins a l'entrada en el waypoint "Hellisop 4 (entrada)", es va anar passant per dins la cova i per "Hellisop 3" i "Hellisop 2", i es va poder sortir a la superfície a "Hellisop 1" grimpant una mica (sense fer malbé res). Si no es pot sortir per aquí dons es torna a l'entrada.

[English] Nice lava cave. Free entrance.

This route starts in the parking, goes to the entrance in "Hellisop 4 (entrada)" waypoint walking in the surface, then inside the cave walking passing through "Hellisop 3" and "Hellisop 2", and we were able to exit in "Hellisop 1" on a little climbing (without spoiling anything). If it's not possible just return to "Hellisop 4 (entrada)".

    Hola
    Veo que tu track es del 2014. Pero la cavidad se puede visitar por libre??
    Somos espeleologos muy experimentados.

    Saludos
