It comes almost immediately to the small but evocative Cave of the Pipe, a high and narrow gorge so named because it is the conformation of the cave that the hydrodynamic effect of the tide which causes when the water fills it is as the aspiration of a pipe, the wave penetrates into the slit and causes a subsequent puff upwards because inside the cave has slits in which atomizes the water and exits high pressure from above.
