The monument we will be talking about is 333 feet deep, was created by water erosion, the 11th deepest hole in the world and is found in Mexico. We are talking about the one the only cave of swallows. Do you want to know what I think is crazy, there is no fence surrounding it if you were to accidently fall in. It takes ten seconds to get to the bottom of it but takes 40 minutes to 2 hours to get up. Every morning flocks of birds fly out of the cave. I have learned a lot about the cave of swallows and now it is definitely on my list of places to go.
The cave of swallows is the 11th deepest cave in the world. Every single morning, flocks of birds fly out of the cave, usually white-collared swifts and green parakeets. It was opened up by water erosion, the first exploration in 1966. The cave has no restrictions for anything, which makes it a popular site for tourism and extreme sports. At the bottom of the cave of swallows, you can find living millipedes, scorpions, and snakes. That is exactly why I will stay my distance away from Mexico and the cave of swallows. It can fit two stacked empire state buildings inside, making it the second largest cave in all of Mexico. I personally can't believe that there are caves that are bigger than this one, but earth is a crazy place. -Skittles

Evans, Charles Borland, and Randy Sterns. Being one of the deepest caves in the world it can take up to 2 hours 40 minutes to climb back up. Not to mention that birds can live in the holes in the walls that are made up of limestone. An interesting fact is that massive rain storms can cause waterfalls down the cave. At the mouth of the cave is massive vegetation growth. I think that this is an amazing catastrophe that the earth has once again pulled off. What amazing place do we live on?

This natural wonder and hold some of man’s greatest creations it can hold both the Chrysler building and the empire state building. Long jump from top to bottom is a large 1214 ft. the most stunning thing about it is that it is made out of limestone not only that even birds have decided to make their nests in the holes in the walls. The cave of swallows is open to anyone who desires to see and experience for themselves it most beautiful to see right after right after rain fall because it makes a water fall that surrounds the outer most edge.
