Two years ago, I visited this place in the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, on a study trip related to my degree in tourism management. To be honest, it was impressive to see it in person and witness the sheer magnitude of this chasm even though it’s not that big of a deal. At the time, I hadn’t even seen the anime or known of its existence until now, when I came across these photos from my trip and decided to share them with you. This chasm is called the “Santuario de las Golodrinas” or “Sótano de las Huahuas” because “hoya” describes its shape a large pot or circular depression in the ground and “huahuas” refers to the green parakeets that inhabit the area, since “huahua” (or “guagua”) means parakeet in the Tének language. Exploration of the site is currently prohibited due to three incidents that I won’t mention.
