Hi All,

This is Sudeep from India! I have taken a sabbatical from work for the next 5  months to travel and explore caves in South America. I was wondering if you could point me to UK caving clubs that have expeditions planned in the region in the near future?

Thanks
Sudeep
 
Not sure that there are any, recent trips seem to be mostly Mexico:

Our club went a few times to Argentina, so you may find some of this & other reports useful:

I have spent a bit of time looking at Peruvian caves . There is an excellent site contains details of peru's caves https://cuevasdelperu.org/

Also an account of my visit to Huagapo cave.

@mikem - Interesting read about your expedition in Argentina. Would you have any contacts of local caving clubs/organisations that are recceing the region for caves?

@frank - Independently exploring the Huagapo cave must have been exciting! Are there other such caves in Peru where you can go exploring alone or maybe even with a local guide?
