On the paved road that climbs to the Pla de Sots, once you reach the bend that crosses the main stream for the last time before meeting the old path that climbed to the Pla de Sots and continuing along the straight where the avenc de Can Sadurní is located. The cavity is about 50 metres above the road on the hydrographic right bank and about 15 metres from the torrent bed, right behind a large slab of rock and at the same level as a small rocky drop visible from the road.
