Location

The cavity is located in Gisclareny. It is reached by climbing up from the mouth of the Bullidor de la Llet (M-1) along the same fault that forms it; after a few metres one arrives at an open trench and, immediately after a short bend, one descends a small step, at which point the fault ends. One continues along the base of the cliff amid the vegetation and after a few metres one arrives at the cavity. The coordinates are approximate without much reliability.
