Location

From Vallcebre we take the paved track that climbs towards the Pla de la Barraca, passing the grau de Vallcebre, and before reaching it, we follow the left-hand turn-off at cal Pairo; then we cross the river bridge and a hundred metres further on the cars can be left. We climb up the hydrographic right for about 60 m of elevation gain, and on the cliff face overlooking the ravine is the cavity.
