The small entrance is in the trees on the north side of the Llueva valley behind the plumber's house. It was dug open by the Spanish archaeologists from Camargo, and is now a squeeze down into a small chamber.

The continuation is through a grille of stalagmites, and a passage heads back to the surface. The cave turns left and rises past a short crawl on the right into a larger, well-decorated passage. One particularly long straw hangs over the top of a blind 6m drop. The passage slopes down into a circular chamber and divides. Approximately straight ahead it becomes a crawl ending at a small 2.5m drop in the floor. The more interesting passage is through an arch on the right of the chamber. The roof rises in a further well-decorated space. Clambering over the flowstone, a trench is reached and on the other side of this the flowstone slopes up to a choke. No draught was detected anywhere in the cave.
