La Mina el Sexmo

While Zaruma's mines are mostly exhausted or closed to visitors, you can step inside a 500m-long tunnel in La Mina el Sexmo. Guests don boots and a helmet and stroll into the earth (following a 10-minute video on the mine's history). It's a short taxi ride ($2) or a scenic 10-minute walk from the town center.
