Location

From Margalef, take the T-713 towards la Bisbal de Falset. At km 9, after the bend and past the pont de les Joveres, we will find on our left a track that descends towards the riu de Montsant. We will follow it and, after about 200 m, before crossing the river, we will find the cave on our right.
