    Tips

    Hiking

    Between 1879 and 1884 Lulu City was built solely for the search for precious minerals, in this case silver. The town was built very quickly and disappeared as soon as the silver rush ended.

    The trail takes you to the few remains of this ghost village. The place itself is pleasant and you understand why the site has been chosen in the middle of nowhere.
