Our departure from the village of Aquismón was delayed due to a parade celebrating the Aniversario de la Revolución (the Mexican Revolution).
Our mountain taxi driver got on the road and up to the mountain top, where we picked up a local caver, Cesario Cedillo. He also ran the local tourism office, and we were lucky to have him as our guide for the day. Below is his house . . .
En route to El Socavon, a 700 foot pit near the city of Valle Verde. Supposedly, not very many people have been down he pit, due to its remoteness.
Riding on the back of the truck was an all-day affair.
We had to stop a couple of times to give the truck some attention, as it wasn’t in the best condition.
Finally, we got to the village!
We’re very close to the cave entrance!
The view from the bottom of the pit. Unfortunately, we didn’t get into the pit during daylight hours, so not much was seen.
