Introduction[edit]

Cueva de la Tia Rosa (also called Tierrosa which is an amalgam of the official name) is a nice water cave near the start of Chipitin canyon. It is full of water and has swimming. Midway through the cave you will reach a point where the water reaches the ceiling and it appears the cave ends. However you can do a series of hold-your-breath duck-unders (around 3 or so), and you will re-emerge in dry passage and see the second half of the cave which is very nice passageway.

Approach[edit]

There are two ways to enter the cave, either walking in through the mouth, or doing a 25m rappel down a chimney that will put you a couple hundred feet inside.

Descent[edit]
