What is a sumidero?
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.
