Location

Approximately two kilometres from Amer in the direction of Les Planes, there is the farmhouse of la Jonquera; from here a track leaves that crosses the farmhouses of Figuereda and Ca l'Hereu, leading us to the Blanquera de Dalt. From this house and somewhat hidden by the forest, a path leaves that skirts the old fields in an E direction; we will link up with a track that we must follow for about a hundred metres, up to a limestone plateau, where we will find the cavity.

Approximate coordinates without much precision.
