Once a thriving mining camp with settlers from across the region and the U.S., it gradually faded as gold deposits ran out, leaving behind remnants of adobe homes, underground dwellings, and a historic cemetery. Now owned by the Villavicencio family, this site offers a fascinating glimpse into Baja's mining history.
