The Basement of the Golondrinas is a must-see on your trip to the Huasteca Potosina, in this video we tell you everything you need to know to be well prepared. Keep reading the description to read more details about the place.
*Swallows basement
- It is a vertical cavern of more than 500 meters of height whose first 376 meters are in free fall. From the air it looks like a mouth in the middle of the mountain, and in its interior several species of birds inhabit, predominating of course the "swallows", that in fact are swifts of white collar.
* A protected area
-This place is considered a Natural Monument and is protected by the environment secretariat; Tourists are welcome, however they must pay 30 pesos per person to be able to access the path of more than 500 steps to go down to the basement.
* Rapel and parachute in the Basement of the Swallows.
- Years ago became videos of parachutists dropping down to the basement of the swallows, this practice is already prohibited so do not think to see things like that. However the Rapel is still common, but you need training and a very good guide to dare to do it, if you already have a lot of experience in this extreme sport and enjoy good physical condition, go ahead, hire a guide and discover the bottom of the basement Of the Golondrinas, if not, better test in other shots less long and when you are ready, returns.
* Schedules in which the swallows appear
-It is important that you note that even though the tour guides assure you that they know that the swallows leave at a certain time, they are not really sure, because their departure depends on factors such as weather, wind speed and Other variants. Few people come to the Basement of the Golondrinas and leave without seeing anything, but if it happens. So you plan to arrive at 7am and take into account you can wait until 9am to see the swifts.
