Introducción
El domingo 30 de abril, un grupo de Los Paseanderos realizó el tour de las Cavernas de Umajalanta en el Parque Nacional Toro Toro. El grupo estaba compuesto por Chalo & Camiña, Momo & María, Killy, Aldo, Marco y Sergio, acompañados por los guías Ruth y Benedicto.

Después de almorzar en las Cabañas de Umajalanta, a unas centenas de metros de la entrada a la caverna tomar unas fotografías de las formaciones rocosas y del pueblo de Toro Toro, procedimos a ingresar a la Caverna de Umajalanta.

La Caverna de Umajalanta
La caverna de Umajalanta es la caverna más larga y profunda de Bolivia, con una longitud de 4.600 metros y un desnivel (con respecto a la superficie) de 164 metros. La caverna está ubicada dentro del municipio de Toro Toro de la provincia de Charcas al norte del departamento de Potosí. Se encuentra a 8 km de la localidad de Toro Toro y a su vez forma parte del parque nacional homónimo. Umajalanta se constituye un sitio de alto interés científico y espeleológico. Su nombre proviene del idioma aymara y quiere decir ‘agua que cae y se pierde’. La excursión dentro de la caverna se realiza obligatoriamente con un guía y es necesario usar casco y linterna frontal.

La entrada tiene unos 20 metros de alto y 30 de ancho y un río recorre su interior.
Entrada a la Caverna de Umajalanta
Presenta diversas formas naturales a través de la formación de estalactitas y estalagmitas en diferentes salas que ofrece el recorrido.

La caverna está formada por grandes bóvedas y galerías unidas por pequeños pasos estrechos. Al interior de la caverna, donde ya no llega la luz, se encuentran unos peces blancos ciegos de 10 centímetros, cuyo nombre científico es Trichomycterus chaberti.

”Se cree que en la era mesozoica había un pantano donde los dinosaurios acostumbraban a beber agua hace 150 millones de años”. [Tomado de
Caverna de Umajalanta]
Durante el recorrido por la Caverna de Umajalanta, pudimos observar las diversas formaciones interiores, la laguna de peces ciego y hacer el díficil recorrido. A veces hay que arrastrarse, hacer rapel y mucho equilibrio. Siempre viendo donde se apoya uno con los píes y las manos.

Momo y María, que aventura más chiva, y el nivel de exigencia mental y física es increíble en ese grupo, un gran saludo y abrazo.
Eeesssoooo. Te felicito por la redacción muy buena explícita y detallada
Esperaba saber de pinturas rupestres o huellas humanas internas usos de las cavernas por humanos
Que maravilla de aventura !
Gracias x compartir
Excelente narrativa; me gustaría ver más fotos
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but
I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers
and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
