The village had grown up around a train station built at an altitude of nearly 3,700 meters in the late 1880s to transport minerals. The desert had taken over the abandoned buildings, and the village looked almost dead. However, first impressions were deceiving, as the tracks were still in use. The village had a store and a bar, and the houses were inhabited. There was even an election poster painted on the wall.

PEOPLE´S ERA – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are likely stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made of leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments dedicated to the cycle of the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells the story of people who lived thousands of years before us, their hardships, and their hopes. They are not just ruins but fragments of a shared history.
