Sierra Mojada, Coahuila - Mexico
Upon finding Sierra Mojada on a map,
195 Km. (121 miles) from Torreon on the Chihuahua state line,
you many envision a town with little to offer. However, nothing
is further from the truth. Just as Nestor Arreola discovered
rich silver deposits here in 1979, which led to the founding of
this town in the same year, this area holds many surprises
waiting to be discovered.
Its urban image, characterized by
the cleanliness and simple layout of its streets, will surprise
you. As well, it will be difficult to resist hiking into the
Sierra Madre for mountain climbing or rappelling, or surely, you
will be tempted to visit one of the ironor silver mines.
Before leaving, don't forget
register your visit in the Cueva de los Nombres and pay your
respects to the writer Ambrose Biertce. |
