the cave gets its name from a local resident that was fundamental in the park's reforestation and preservation. an easy hike takes visitors to the mouth of the cave, starting at ponte da marquesa, close to the park's picnic area and along the major archer road.

the entrance to the cave is about 30 m high and forms a rocky platform - the cave's entrance is very narrow and the rock face to reach it is very steep, so that some climbing is involved in reaching it.
