Located in the city of Ouro Preto, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Last week of 2016 I went on a trip with my sister and brother-in-law, here are some of the pictures and a few curiosities about the mine :D
I hope you guys enjoy.
Gold Mine (translated from Portuguese "Mina de Ouro")
Mine Entrance
When it raining season, there's points in the mine get full of water
in the picture above the arrow marks the point where the water fill's up in the caves
The first point in the mine (picture above) have 4 meters of water in the daily basis but it reaches 7 meters in the raining season making impossible for the visits to the mine to happen.
Quicksand - The arrow marks the point the water reachers when it rains
The second point in the mine the fills up with water in the raining season it's also full with quicksand.
The color patterns in the walls of the mine are because of the high concentration of Iron Ore in this region.
