Location

Follow the same path as to go to the Avenc de la Ferla; once at the so-called coll de la Ferla, continue to the right along the GR-92 while climbing the nearby hill. Descend to the next col and from there descend along the line of maximum slope towards the bed of the Vaquers valley. Shortly before reaching it, the large entrance is found completely covered by vegetation. It is relatively easy to find due to the lighter colour of the ivy. The whole area is very overgrown.

Entrances
