Exploring the Sótano del Barro: Home of the Guacamayas

Hidden deep within the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, the Sótano del Barro is one of the most dramatic natural formations in the region and one of the best places in Mexico to observe guacamayas verdes (Military Macaws) in the wild. This massive open sinkhole drops hundreds of meters into the earth and serves as a nesting and resting site for these iconic birds, offering a truly unforgettable wildlife experience.

Reaching the Sótano del Barro is an adventure in itself and is best suited for travelers seeking a challenging and rewarding outing in a remote part of the Sierra Gorda.
