A 6m high and wide entrance is well-hidden in jungle. Progress is halted
along the large passage by a vertical bank of clay about 100m in. A 4m scale
reaches the continuation which lowers to a flatout crawl after another 200m.
According to Valero Enrique y Soriano Ángel, 2007, the end
here comes close to a passage in Torca de Blas.
A passage on the right near to the end contains a 4m pitch into a well decorated
segment. It seems to be in this section that cavers from Cuenca in May 1994
have discovered more passage to extend the cave. Thirty metres before reaching
the clay wall there is a series of small rift passages on the right which
return towards the surface. These appear to come close to site 4662.
Two bear skeletons were found near the end of the main passage in 1983 and
in December 2007 a number of flints were found in the cave near the
entrance.
Valero Enrique y Soriano Ángel, 2007 has an
area map showing the following
sites: Rio Seco, Cueva Brazada, Torca de Blas, Cueva
de La Pila, Cueva de Coquisera and
Cueva del Coverón. The same publication has
the length of the cave as 520m.
