Sumidero
Manantial de la Aleta
A deep Taíno ritual sinkhole inside Parque Nacional Cotubanamá, with a hydrogen sulfide layer and oxygen-free deep water. Known from archaeological diving; no public diving access is published.
Small openings in the forest floor lead into a chamber that falls 16 m to a round pool about 40 m wide. Below the surface a debris mound rises to 34 m and slopes down to 73 m. Archaeological divers mapped and recovered Taíno pottery and rare wooden objects from its slopes.
The site is documented as an archaeological research location inside a national park. No recreational access, guide service or permit procedure is published.
