Haitón del Guarataro, Juan Crisóstomo Falcón National Park

The Haitón del Guarataro is a solutional cave system in the Sierra de San Luis in Falcón State, Venezuela, 2.5 kilometres south-east of Curimagua. It is the deepest limestone cave in Venezuela, and the entrance is a tourist attraction within the Juan Crisóstomo Falcón National Park. A large entrance shaft 12 metres in diameter leads via drops of 168 metres, 55 metres, and 19 metres to a stream passage which follows the dip down for a distance of about 350 metres to the north to where it eventually chokes. An upstream passage is intercepted which runs south for about 150 metres to the base of a shaft. The cave has a depth of 305 metres, and a total passage length of 640 metres. It was first explored and surveyed in April 1973 by members of the Venezuela '73 British Karst Research Expedition. It is formed in Oligocene reefal limestone. ()
