Roquetes • Baix Ebre60m42m

A 42 m deep pit in the Caramella area (el Port), explored by the Espeleo Club Tortosa in 1992.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the paved track that climbs mont Caro, when the long straight ends and at the bend where the climb begins, a track branches off to the left which, in a S direction, we must follow as far as the corral de Colomet; a little further on a turn-off to the right must be taken that follows the course of the barranc de la Caramella, until reaching the Casa Carballo. From here the camí de la Caramella a Caro must be followed and, after leaving the turn-off that leads to Mola Castellona, continue a little more than 200 metres and about 4 metres to the right of the path is the entrance of the pit.

Description

Morphology

Formed by a first drop of 14 metres and of modest dimensions. From the ledge that forms its base another vertical of 12 metres begins and gains in width until reaching a large ledge at its bottom, from where it continues by a new shaft of 13 metres, even wider. At the end of its bottom there is a window hanging from which a chimney and a small pit of 4 metres are reached.

Hydrology

At the bottom of the small pit of 4 metres there is a small pool fed by seepage coming from the chimney.

History

The oldest reference we have is that of the exploration carried out by members of the Espeleo Club Tortosa in 1992.
