Matienzo - 50 Years of Speleology

Introduction (15/3/09)
Modern caving and speleology first started in Matienzo in the 1960s, first with small groups of locals and then with organised expeditions. British involvement started in 1969 and has continued up to the present, now augmented with cavers from other countries.
In 2010, we intend to celebrate 50 years of speleology in Matienzo with a number of events, memorabilia and a substantial book. Further details and invitations to contribute to the publication are to be found here on the Matienzo Google Group.
