Ecomuseo de las Minas de Abangares

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:44:14

It's not often that you see the terms ‘eco’ and ‘mining’ so close together. Set on 38 hectares, this little museum has exhibits of photographs and models depicting the old mining practices of the area. There are a picnic area and children’s play area on the grounds. A good system of trails skirts mining artifacts, offering opportunities for birding, with occasional appearances by monkeys.
