Location

The cave is located in the municipality of Sant Esteve de la Sarga. Following the track that goes from the puig de Sant Alís to the collada de Colobó, we will have to turn off on reaching the entrance of this col when we come to a path that branches off to the left and heads towards Beniure. About three hundred metres from this junction we will find the beginnings of a torrent; we will ignore it and go in search of the torrent further to the right, which is the barranc de la Cometa. We will find the cave on the left bank of the torrent.
