QUICK FACTS
- The Cave of Swallows in Mexico is the world’s largest cave shaft, because it is very wide, as well as 1,094ft (333m) deep, deep enough to swallow New York’s 1,047ft (319m) Chrysler Building. People base jump into it.
- You can find in Mexico’s Cave of Crystals some giant white crystals up to 36ft (11m) long, six times longer than a tall man.
