Characteristics

Location

Driving along the C-153 road, once we reach the coll de Condreu, we will turn off in the direction of the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu del Far. On reaching the ermita de Santa Anna, we will continue along the road for a further 285 metres, where a track leaves to the right which we will follow until we reach a cultivated field; we will cross it to the end and continue along the path until we reach the next cultivated field. At this point, and to the right of this field, right at the edge of the forest, is the Forat del Far, after a distance of 250 metres from the road. From this point we will continue in the direction N 23 W for 70 metres, where we will find the cavity.
