Descend into Sima Humboldt, a massive sinkhole containing an isolated ecosystem that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World.' This 1,000-foot-deep chasm in Venezuela's tepuis (table mountains) houses unique species found nowhere else on Earth, including endemic plants and animals that evolved in isolation. The technical rappelling descent and challenging expedition access make this one of the planet's most exclusive natural wonders.
