This is without a doubt one of the most difficult quests I've seen in an urban exploration video, as <strong>the town is at the bottom of a canyon and the path leading to it was lost due to landslides.<\/strong> In the video they estimate that the town was founded in the 1870s, and that it had a rebirth in the 1920s, always linked to that mining operation. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52127470273_3c76616c0c_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; margin:10px 0 10px 0;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>In the place there is an abandoned 1930 Ford and in very bad condition.<\/strong> Presumably at that time there would have been a road to the village on which this car could drive.
