AttractionEl Nopal Mine Guanajuato

The first exploration work of this mine began before 1868, the year in which the -Negociacion Minera del Nopal y Anexas- company was formed, whose aim was to explore the veins of silver from El Nopal Mine and other mines.

Today, the Mina El Nopal is used for teaching purposes by the University of Guanajuato and for guided tours to national and foreign tourists, with services that include trained guides and accident insurance.
