Real de Catorce it’s a small town in the state of San Luis Potosi about 5 hours from Monterrey, we took an adventure to this traditional city and famous town, real de catorce was a very important town in the 1800´s, it got to be a very famous town because of the amount of silver the mines had, Spaniards came to the town and star exploding the important mineral, and that’s when they founded this little town. In this picture we can see when we arrived to the town, and a cool thing is that to get into the town you have to go in a tunnel that is 2.5 kilometers long.

In this photo we can see some ruins, we visit them like about 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning we had to ride like for about an hour to get there, this place its call “pueblo fantasma” and the name its not because ghost live there, its because its abandoned. This place used to be a mine were the Spaniards use to clean the silver, they are some entrances to the mine, and some big ponds were they used to clean and work on the silver. This is one of the most important attractions in Real de Catorce.
The “quemada” it’s a place to go in Real de Catorce it’s a ceremonial center of the wicholes tribe, we had to ride in a horse for more than 2 hours to get there, it was very fun we were talking all the way, saying jokes and singing (that was me), the wicholes are some is a tribe in northern Mexico, and this ceremonial center its in the top of a mountain, this trip was kind of tiered, but it was very interesting to learn and know a little more of the culture.
