Despues de mi última vista en 1976, me encontré con menos edificios y casa y donde se ha hecho notar la inclemencia de la montaña sobre lo que va quedando de lo que fura un hermoso lugar en sus buenos años. la conservación no se si es la mejor, hay muchos lugares como el banco estado que deberian estar al menos representado. creo que el museo esta entretenido y bien ambientado. para quienes no la conocieron tiempo atras sirve para hacerce una idea de lo que fue y aprender del rigor de la vida del minero del siglo pasado. Los guias buenos y con conocimiento.
