Sotano de las Golondrinas




It's in Tancahuitz's municipality. To come, from Ciudad Valles the road takes 85 towards the south and in the km 50 the people of Aquismón is to the right, from where there takes a dirt track of 12 km that leads to the place.




It's one of the biggest and impressive abysses of the world, with 512 m of depth, 60 of diameter and 370 of vertical fall. It is the whole spectacle to see to the birds flying in the depths of the abyss; at 6 a.m., the birds that live the basement go out for thousands in the shape of spiral and to the late afternoon they return to his singular haunt. It is possible to practise the speleology and the abseiling, though it is advisable only for experts and accompanied by a guide. In the surroundings some caves and waterfalls can be visited.





Watch the video, please :)
