Location

Coming from la Morera de Montsant in the direction of the Castells and once past the channels where the avenc dels Castells and the Bufador de l'Aferamot are found, there is a very faint path that passes very close to this cavity, which is located in a small doline before reaching the Còdol Trencat.
