Museo Ruta de Plata
About This Museum
This isn't your typical grand museum; it's a wonderfully intimate stop that feels like stepping directly into the region's silver mining past. Tucked away in the charming, sun-drenched town of El Triunfo, the museum tells the powerful story of how silver shaped an entire peninsula. You'll wander through rooms filled with everything from rough-hewn mining tools to delicate personal items left behind by miners and their families. It’s a surprisingly personal and moving experience that connects you to the lives that built this place.
