The cavity is located in the Ingla valley (Cerdanya). From Bellver one must take the GR-107 heading toward coll de Pendís, following the Ingla valley upstream. It should be found about 200 metres above the right hydrological slope, at the foot of a cliff and to the NW of spot height 1521. Approximate coordinates and a low-precision location, to be reviewed.
