I believe this is the 2007 sinkhole. It was 330 ft deep. (Sinkholes are evidently a growth industry in Guatemala.)

The sinkhole appears to be about 60 feet (18 meters) wide and about 30 stories deep, said James Currens, a hydrogeologist at the University of Kentucky.

It's deeper than the length of a football field. It looks like God stuck his pinky in the Earth to see if it was done.
