Curiosity · Folgoso do Courel, Quiroga, Lugo

Image of Folgoso do Courel, not of the place itself.

The Buraca das Choias is a cave located in the hamlet of Visuña, in the council of Folgoso do Courel. In 2018, a joint team of caving, diving and university groups from Galicia and Madrid accessed its flooded galleries, surveyed the whole complex and discovered new passages with possible extensions still unexplored, going on to cover nearly three hundred metres of conduits.
