Sima de las cotorras, Natural sinkhole in Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Mexico.
The circular sinkhole measures 160 meters in diameter and extends 140 meters deep into the earth, surrounded by tropical vegetation and limestone walls.
Archaeological discoveries near the sinkhole include red ochre hand prints and ancient pottery fragments dating back approximately 7,500 years.
The sinkhole serves as a habitat for Mexican green parakeets, which emerge each morning in large numbers and return before sunset.

The El Ocote Biosphere Reserve location contains multiple cave paintings visible on the cliff faces through binoculars from designated viewing points.
