We are at 3000m altitude, the air is getting tight, but Victor is worth a visit. One of the tallest parishes in the world. Victor had its heyday at the beginning of the 20th century, when even President Roosevelt visited the town twice.
At that time there were trams, a train connection, theaters and cinemas. All thanks to the Colorado Gold Rush that happened here. Nicola Tesla electrified the mines and the mining of gold.
Today the town has fallen into oblivion, but gold is still mined today, as can be seen from the surrounding mountains. Thanks to gambling in Cripple Creek, which was legal again in the early 1990s, Victor is gradually thriving again.
