Characteristics

Location

Following the track of the Cortals d'Ingla, we will leave the car at the Prat de Castilló (coordinates: X 400022 - Y 4685355). From here a track, closed to vehicles, starts and we will follow it for about 200 m. We turn right and go down through the meadows for about 150 m in a SW direction to find the torrent and the base of a cliff hidden by vegetation. We will find the entrances, where the cliff begins and hidden among the box trees.
