In the man page for pkg-config. The webpage even says to look there.

I quote:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH
       A  colon-separated  (on  Windows,  semicolon-separated)  list of
       directories to search for .pc files.  The default directory will
       always be searched after searching the path; the default is lib-
       dir/pkgconfig where libdir is the libdir  where  pkg-config  was
       installed.

But you should really read the whole thing for yourself.
