Location

On the west side of Montanissell, 180 metres away, we find the chapel of Sant Joan; one can also follow the track for about 500 metres to the coll de Paller, a few metres further on to the right, a track leads to the cemetery and the chapel of Sant Joan.

From here one must climb to the foot of the cliff and follow it westwards, where we will soon find the cavity.

Approximate coordinates.
