El Truinfo is a historic mining town halfway between La Paz and the East Cape of Baja. Starting in 1850, the mine ran all the way through the late 1890s.
The old church.
Those colors though.
Old archway.
Front view.

Traffic jam El Triunfo style.
Jon met us there on his bike. After changing out of his kit, he was thirsty.
One of two smelting towers. I think this one was called Ramona but don't quote me on that.
Doggies!
I wanted to take this one home.
A local showed us where one of the mines were. A bit of a hike but worth it. Cool air flowed out of it on a hot day.
1888
Bar el Minelero is just, wow.
They grind and case all their own sausage.
A week later I was driving through again- the goats are a regular occurence.
