Location

In the highest part of the village of la Riba and along the TV-7044 road 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. On reaching 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 river Brugent. In the lower part of the gully where the avenc GERS and the Esquerda de Puig de Marc are found. Approximate coordinates and difficult to locate.
