Mr. Mixon was asking about Boqueron.
I quickly skimmed thru YouTube and found 2 videos in Spanish and one
below in French.
The link below might have been the video I saw in 1985:

Which truly inspired me to want to get down there and go caving.
( Sidenote: I think I saw this film in Monterrey at the OmniMax ( ?
) theater there in 1987 )
The link below ( just a month old ) shows the nature of the terrain.
The river cuts thru this
large natural bridge and then apparently sinks underground, coming out
of the hill about a
kilometer on the other side of the hill.

The river probably gets pretty high during a major tropical storm.
Upstream about 1/4 kilometer, the river forks. We camped on the
beach and swam there
and even drank the water. Not far upstream the river comes out of
the mountain from another
resurgence subterrrean system completely separate from the Boqueron.
We paddle upstream in small
inflatable rafts into that cave about 100 meters and looked for
biological specimens, and never left the
twilight zone.
