Location

The cavity is located on the N slope of the Montsec de Rubíes; it is the next ravine to the W of the Forat del Gel. The most convenient access is, if a 4x4 vehicle is available, via the track that goes from the Hostal Roig to the Portella Blanca; shortly before arriving we will turn off onto a track to the right that will place us at the head of the ravine, about a hundred metres above the cavity. Approximate coordinates without much reliability.
