Characteristics

Location

Les tutes de la Pólvora i del Senglar are clearly visible from the track that runs from the coll del Ras to Mas Padern. From Mas Padern we will head in search of the torrent de la Coma del Ferrer, we will follow the torrent downstream until we find a marker stone on the left that gives access to a hidden path. We will continue along the path following the clearest and flattest branches, until the main trace begins to fade in the middle of a stony and open forest; we will continue decisively uphill and diagonally to the right, until we reach the head of the cliff; from this spot we will see the great rock shelter of the tuta. We will look for a good scree slope that descends diagonally, protected by the forest. Once below the scree slope, we will continue a few metres further until we find an open patch in the forest that leads towards the torrent. We will descend the torrent with a steep gradient until it narrows, seeing on our left the wall of a cliff, where the wide porch of the cavity opens.
