From Chihuahua: Santa Eulalia Mines Tour – Chihuahua (State), Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

We will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you 12 miles to the mining community of Santa Eulalia.
When you get here, we’ll tell you about this town’s fascinating past. Diego del Castillo, a Spanish commander, founded it in 1652 after finding a silver mine. Other mines were discovered a few decades later, which aided Santa Eulalia’s economic and population growth.
We’ll discover a lot more fascinating information about Santa Eulalia as well. For instance, did you know that this is where Chihuahua’s original colony was situated? Later, it was decided to relocate the state capital to a different region of the valley, creating the modern city.
Then, we’ll visit one of the fabled mines that gave Santa Eulalia its notoriety and explore its interior to examine the many minerals, including calcites and semi-precious stones. We’ll also discover the stages these deposits have gone through and how a drop in activity in the middle of the 20th century affected them.
We’ll depart the mines later and travel to the Santa Eulalia viewpoint, where we’ll get to see a stunning panoramic view of the Chihuahua city that is right next to us. Prepare the cameras!
Finally, after three hours of touring, we’ll bring the tour to a close by transporting you back to your hotel.
