Put on your yellow hardhat, board the train and disappear into the history that made Zacatetas what it is today.Mina El Eden produced more silver than almost any other mine in Mexico. Inside the mine you'll wonder how people could work under such conditions from 1586 until the 1960s. Of course, many of them were enslaved by the Spanards for hundreds of years. Even with a concrete trail and lots of lighting, one feels the claustrophia of mining. You'll get a small understanding of what was it like for a slave miner to hang from a small seat on a crack in the earth hammering out a chunk of silver-bearing rock. You'll also understand why so many children died while collecting and carrying water throughout the mine. The start of the tour takes you through a wonderful mineral museum that will amaze you with the beauty and creativity of this old rock on which we live.

El Santuario de Santo Niño de Atocha. The Santo is very small, but beautifully located in a magnificent old gold - gilded church. The Child is said to roam the hills/valleys, particularly at night, bringing aid/comfort to the needy, and thereby wearing out his shoes. He is usually shown seated. Many people come from all over the world to pay their respects & seek a miracle from Santo Niño. In February, there celebration in which Compadres (God-parents) are selected & they can dress the Santo Niño in different attire (see picture where Santo Niño is wearing a Mexican Sombrero).

Especially the outside of the building is fascinating, I couldn't get enough from looking up to all that beautiful stonework. The modern altar is unusual and impressive.

For $30 pesos, you can tour the old covenant. The architecture is beautiful and ideal for pictures, especially weddings. It has a huge mask museum and other exhibits too.
