Location

From the track that goes from the ruins of Can Ardenya towards the creu d'Ardenya, shortly after we find a turn-off to the left; we must follow it until we reach a new turn-off, this time we will take the one on the right. A little further on the track makes a sharp turn to the right; at this same point and above the path is the Avenc María. We will leave the track on the right and continue along the straight path that climbs up the torrent; after about a hundred metres and on the left-hand slope (hydrographic right) we will find a rocky outcrop that descends from the ridge; we must climb up it and almost reaching the top we will find the cavity.
