Guanajuato In Mexico

Guanajuato is a well known city in Mexico, renowned for its colonial architecture, history and resilient structures. The city was founded in the 1500’s by the Spanish, who quickly realized that it was an area that could be mobilized into an abundant resource of silver through mining efforts. Directly below the city a series of underground tunnels and caverns can be found. These are relatively modern constructs, set up as a contingency plan for the high rate of population growth seen in the country in recent decades. Rather than expanding upwards, officials decided that going underground would be a viable alternative to consider.
