Characteristics

Location

From the Coll d'Ares we will continue in the direction of Sant Alís; upon reaching the barranc de les Vaqueres (it is the second one we find) we will descend along the left side of the ravine. The cavity opens at the base of the cliff located on the left bank of the barranc de les Vaqueres, a little more than halfway along the course of this cliff.
