Carambie Cave is a large relatively dry, white limestone cave in Trelawny Parish on the North Coast of Jamaica. The cave has a number of entrances.

Natural History

The cave is home to a number of fruit bats as well a few other species of bat. There are some species of invertebrates, mostly living on the limited bat guano deposits. These include some fly, mainly Neoditomyia farri, and some spiders.

It is believed that the cave may have been used by Taino Indians, but no evidence of them has been found of them.
