Introduction
Mina El Edén is a Zacatecas silver mine worked from the 16th century until flooding and declining ore closed it in 1960, now a museum and guided tour. Visitors ride an internal rail car and walk lit galleries and shafts past exposed rock, timbered supports, veins and pooled water, learning four centuries of silver, gold, lead and zinc mining. A small museum at the entrance shows minerals and tools; on weekend nights part of the mine becomes an underground club — one of Zacatecas' most singular experiences.
