From the mouth of the mine of the Avenc del Pèlec, you must take the hydrographic left slope of the stream and follow a path until reaching a large rock; you must descend a channel found to the right of this rock until finding a fissure on the left (Forat del Fum). You go down this fissure and once you have reached its base you will head to the right; a few metres further on and at two metres of height is the cavity.
