Lonely Planet review for La Valenciana Mine

For 250 years, La Valenciana mine produced 20% of the world's silver, in addition to quantities of gold and other minerals. Shut down after the Mexican Revolution, it reopened in 1968 and is now run by a cooperative. It still yields silver, gold, nickel and lead, and you can see ore being lifted out and miners descending the immense main shaft. Guides will show you around the compound (they expect a tip), but you can't go inside the mine.
