Summary: machine translated ➜

It is also used as a "feeder" to Vall Figuera, avoiding its somewhat boring first part.

Access: machine translated ➜

We leave the AP-7 - Autopista del Mediteráneo, Tarragona to Valencia - just before reaching the Ebro and take the C-12 northward to Tortosa (not quite 20 km to the center of town). In the town we continue on the C-12 northwards in the direction of Lleida. At the big square "Plaça de la Corona d'Aragó" - before reaching the shopping center on the right side - we turn left into the Av. Ports Tortosa-Beseit. First we drive over Roquetes, then we take the Cami de Caro in many serpentines up and reach the Collado de Portell at the beginning of the high valley at the foot of the Monte Caro.\nFrom the view parking lot 300 m after the last left serpentine we drive now 700 m further in the direction of Monte Caro, then a clearly recognizable runway turns off on the right. Here we park our car in a suitable place.

Approach (40 min): machine translated ➜

We follow the slope through the forest . After stepping out of the wakld, we keep into the right ditch (NE) and go down in it to the first rappel (20 m - clamping block).

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

"Rappel then comes from the left the main canyon (with the C 60), we cross a path and after some downclimb we come to the R 45. Then we cross again a path (our way back) and after 3 more rappel hinaf climb into Vall Figuera. In Vall Figuera until its exit (see description there).

Return (2 h): machine translated ➜

Like Vall Figuera: At the iron signpost on the ground, first climb steeply to the right. Then we cross the Barranco Ximenot, come to the GR 7.6 and across it up to the road. Cf.:\n * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=3632513 ( 01h 30' ) \nOn the main road then about 1 km NE to the car.
