Initiation
Have you ever tried to penetrate into a cave? With us you will have the chance to do it. Come try caving!
In Berguedà, the most representative cavity is the Bòfia de la Boixadera, about 400 metres long. We must say, it’s not the classical cave full of stalactites because its characteristics don’t allow their formation, but every cave has its own charm, and none will leave indifferent.

Progression
This option is not recommended for newbies, but very attractive if you have a minimum experience.
In this option of the activity, we’ll visit a cave with very narrow passes and water, and we’ll face some situations that require the technique and serenity that come with experience. There is no need to be in a very good shape, but you must be at least a bit agile and mentally calm to avoid getting nervous in complicated and clautrophobic situations. In this option, although it is more technical than the initiation one, we won’t be using ropes. The difficulty is due to the needed technique, the water, the size of the steps you must overcome, and the cave’s length.

Name: Cova de Rotgers.
