Swallow Cave

Swallow Cave is a karst cave that is located in the state of San Luis Potosi.

The depth of the cave is 376 meters, and the volume is 33 110 cubic meters.

The shape of the cave is bottle-shaped, the deeper the cave becomes. Getting here will be difficult, as there is only one dirt road, on which you can drive only on SUVs.

A favorite activity of tourists coming here is to observe the behavior of the inhabitants of the cave. Here you can see parrots and swifts of rare species, as well as poisonous snakes.

The cave has accumulated a huge amount of guano, so the air contains a large concentration of poisonous substances, and on the walls - mold and fungi. Long stay in the cave without oxygen equipment is dangerous to health.

Descent into the cave on climbing equipment takes 20 minutes, and climbing up - 2 hours.

This place was chosen by base jumpers from all over the world. Few people know that some scenes of the thriller “Sanctum” directed by Alistair Grierson were filmed here. The Swallow Cave is still not fully explored.
