These are some old mines called Cerro del Toro, these mines are closed, no minerals are extracted anymore, there were simply a few years when they were shown to the public and tourism, but the little movement of people ended up closing, these mines are inside It houses an underground lagoon besieging its precipitous passageways to the interior, if you ever consider visiting it, perhaps you can do it with a small qualified group prepared and requesting permission from the town hall, warning, do not venture inside alone, there are many dangers.
