About Aquismón
Aquismón is a small town in the Huasteca Potosina, the green, humid eastern edge of San Luis Potosí, where about a third of residents identify as Indigenous. It is the starting point for the Sótano de las Golondrinas, the enormous pit cave where flocks of birds spiral out at dawn, and for other natural sites in the surrounding municipality. The town itself is compact and unhurried, a place to arrange guides, eat, and sleep before an early start.
