Sótano de las Golondrinas

Hidden in the lush mountains of San Luis Potosí, the Sótano de las Golondrinas is one of the most spectacular natural formations in the world. This massive open sinkhole drops vertically into the earth and is famous for the daily flight of thousands of birds that spiral in and out of its depths.
