Location

At the highest part of the village of la Riba and along the TV-7044 road heading towards Farena, take the path on the right that leads towards the Puig de Marc, leaving the characteristic hill of the Castell del Dalmau on our right. When you reach the first flat area formed by the Puig de Marc, move westwards to look for a cliff (Pena del Puig) that rises above the valley of the Brugent river. In the lower part of the gully where the avenc GERS and the Esquerda de Puig de Marc are found and just a few metres from the avenc Muntanya.

Approximate coordinates and difficult to locate.
