486 Cueva de la Fuente de la Pila (Cueva de los Cazadores)
Cruz Uzano VN53059380 Alt. 380m Length 500m
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. 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.
Two bear skeletons were found near the end of the main passage in 1983.
