Mirador de Rayas — Attraction in Guanajuato

Went in the middle of the day via uber. The lookout was not staffed but you can walk around the top and get great views of the surrounding mountains and city. We learned that the high walls were built around the mine to protect the operation (visit Bocamina San Cayetano to learn more).
