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.

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.

Amazing views! Breath taking! Great place to take some great pictures of the town. The only little thing the air is very thin due to the altitude so it can be difficult for some people to breath.

This beautiful church was started in in 1950s but only finished in 2000 due to lack of funding, when it was consecrated. It was built in Gothic style and made of fabulous local orange pink stone. As the church is not so close to the centre, try to combine with a visit to the Francisco Goitia museum which originally was the residence of governors. It is only two minuets walk from Fatima church.
