This basement is a sinkhole in the earth, with a depth of 140 m and a diameter of 160 m, made by geological formations, a structure that geologists call collapse sinkholes and in which countless parrots live.

This basement is the scene of one of the most incredible spectacles of nature, at dawn or dusk or you can witness the enthusiastic awakening of hundreds of parrots, which leave in a flock to start the day and in the afternoon return to their nests to spend the night.

We recommend you visit at dawn because all the parrots leave at the same time while at dusk they return little by little; Or there are those who stay all day in one of the options available to spend the night or to see the departure and return of the parrots.

Something else that you should take into account when planning your trips is that parrots migrate to spend the winter in a warmer place, in the Arc of Time area, so we recommend traveling during the months of March to November.

But there is much more to do in the Sima de las Cotorras such as descending into the interior, where vestiges of the Zoque culture are found with manifestations of rock paintings of the Zoque culture, some of which are believed to be 10,000 to 1,000 years old. , with abstract drawings that are difficult to interpret and handprints painted in red and black.

This place is ideal for hiking, on a very interesting route that is the Via Ferrata where the ascent is made through stairs and hanging bridges at the edge of the summit, in addition to other activities such as rappelling, zip lining, caving, climbing. on rock and observation of flora and fauna.
