Amazing stalactites in Chonta cavern, Mexico. This incredibly decorated wall is in a huge collapse sinkhole over 100 metres across. I have been in many caves across the globe, but this is the most densely decorated wall with large speleothems I have seen. Chonta is tucked away in the jungle of the Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National park and a internationally renown rock climbing area.
