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.

This tour involves a ride out to the boonies then getting in back of a pick up to go up to the mines, the tour guides help kids (and adults if your nice lol) bust rocks and find opals, if you need to relieve some stress and break some things and maybe find a treasure this is fun. I wouldn’t take a kid under 8 tho because it’s quite a bumpy ride up the mountain.
