How can I get there?
By the N-230 road (Lleida - Vall d'Aran), until Pont de Montanyana (Ribagorça). Once you reach the village, take the road that goes to Tremp (C-1311) and cross the bridge over the river Noguera Ribagorçana, some 200 metres further, the path deviates to the right with a turning that says "Reserva del Congost de Mont-rebei."
Other ways to get there: through the Tremp road (C-13), taking the junction that leads to Guàrdia de Noguera and continuing on the LV-9124 region, passing through Sant Esteve de la Sarga and Alsamora until you reach the natural space.
Also from Àger and Corçà (La Noguera), but then you can only access it on foot from the path (GR-1) that crosses the Espai Natura Congost de Mont-rebei.
