This expedition returned to explore caves on the high altitude (> 3,250-3,550m) Pico del Oro Plateau in North Peru. It extended Tragadero de la Soledad to be the longest cave in Peru (4.2 km) and 325m deep, and found >150m deep ‘back door’ and ‘side door’ surface shafts close to Soledad’s farthest end. Other significant caves were also explored.
