Exploration: Beyond the Sump – Huautla Resurgence 2021

Sistema Huautla, located high in the Sierra Mazateca mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, is one of the most iconic and expansive cave systems in the world. It features over 30 entrances, more than 100.7 kilometers (62.5 miles) of known passageways, and reaches a depth of over 1,500 meters (5,000 feet). This remarkable site has fascinated cavers from around the globe for over 50 years. In 2022, I had the opportunity to document further exploration conducted by Beyond the Sump, a team of cave divers exploring the resurgence side of the system.
