Friouato Caves

The Friouato Caves are about 30 kilometers south of the Moroccan city of Taza. The farthest known point is about 272 meters away, but its true limits remain unknown. Experts estimate that the trail's length is about six kilometers. There are also signs of an underground river near the Grottes of Chiker, which is thought to flow. Many explorers have visited Friouato Caves, according to residents of the nearby village, some of whom have never returned. In 1969, a cave diving expedition led by Exeter University Speleological Society discovered more large chambers and shafts after passing through two static sumps. The system culminates in a massive boulder choke.

This could be the same massive boulder choke that can be seen at the end of the upstream passages of the nearby Grotte du Chiker. The same group of cavers discovered this choke in 1969. The Cerberus Speleological Society of the United Kingdom took photographs of both cave systems in 1976 during an expedition.
