| Looking for a little more adventure, we enrolled on a training session which would allow us descend into a large underground cave known as the 'Abismo' (Abyss) and snorkel in the lake at its base. |
 |
| After the training you have to sign a form acknowledging that you are aware of the dangers and will not hold any accidents against them. |
 |
| Then we hired some very unattractive wetsuits! We were told that the lake inside the abyss is very cold. |
 |
| At the top of the abyss, about to lower ourselves inside. It’s 80 meters down to the floating platform. |
 |
| Looking up as we descended on the ropes. |
 |
| On the floating platform getting ready to brave the waters. |
 |
| The water was as cold as we had been warned but the visibility was fantastic; with our flashlights we could make out the ghostly shapes of cones of calcium carbonate under the water. The lake is 80 meters deep; as deep as the cave above it. |
