Difficult to find, it is situated on the bank of the Khusavati River, near the village of Colomb in Sanguem district, about 70 km SE of Panaji, Goa. From Margao, take the road to Quepem and then take the road to Tilamol. Take the road to Rivona, and follow this road through Rivona and Colomb. Just past Colomb look out for green and red 'Protected Site' signs that point into the bush, passing an abandoned opencast mine and down to the riverbank. The labyrinth is situated on a rock panel, with other prehistoric petroglyphs on the right bank of the river. Good luck if you go looking for it, and by the way, there are practically no road signs in this part of Goa, so ask for directions at regular intervals!
