Cave explorers when discussing a cave, use the name that is on the map of the cave, no matter what language it was drawn in. Caves in Spanish speaking countries will usually have a Spanish name, unless the discoverer that maps it gives it a name in his native language. The term "sumidero" is used to describe a river cave where a river disappears "into" the cave. Cave explorers will name such a cave "Sumidero de XX." Where XX is usually something that describes something about the cave such as the village that it is located in. Caves like this are common in karst regions in southern Mexico, and can be very exciting and dangerous to explore. There are at least 10 caves in Mexico over 200 meters deep that are called "sumidero de XX." If the river cave is found to join another cave, the caves are considered part of a system, and the explorers give a new name to the system. They only use the old name to identify the individual entrances of the new system.

What canyons are there in the tropical rainforest?
Canyons are not a common landform in tropical rainforests due to the dense vegetation and lack of significant geological processes that typically create canyons. However, some rainforests may have small, narrow canyons formed by erosion from rivers or streams cutting through the terrain over a long period of time. These canyons are usually not as prominent or extensive as those found in arid or mountainous regions. Overall, the presence of canyons in tropical rainforests is limited compared to other types of environments.
