The trail up is pretty obvious until you get to the forks. At the first fork, go left on the more established trail. At the second fork, go left. When you hit the bottom of the ravine, go right. The cave will be visible within a few meters.
The place seems to be a hangout for the local youth, I encountered two small groups of them. Friendly enough, but be advised.
