Unfortunately not accessible at this point...blocked by water, siphons and narrow crevices. Above the source and about 40 meters higher (to the left of it) is the central entrance portal, which can be easily reached through an iron ladder.
You can walk a good 100 meters into the cave and advance to a third entrance, but be careful, the exit ends in the middle of a rock face.
