Location

Driving along the BV-2111 road from Sant Pere de Ribes to Olivella, shortly before reaching Can Suriol (km. 14), a dirt track leaves to the left towards the farmhouses of the Pelagons. Follow it until shortly before reaching the height of the masia dels Pelagons de Dalt and descend westwards to find a marked bend of the riera dels Pelagons, above which the Penyes del Lledoner rise; at their foot lies the cavity.
