In the depths of the arid lands is the gold mine, a place shrouded in ancient mystery, where they delved into the bowels of the earth in search of the golden glow that promised wealth and power. In each sheen of gold discovered, a story of sacrifice and connection with nature was woven, a legacy that endures in the legends of the land.

The scenic recreation at Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park of the gold mine, with its pond and river to explore by canoe, wants to capture that adventurous spirit to turn us into intrepid explorers for a few moments.

In relation a little to history, the California gold rush was a social phenomenon that occurred in the United States, between 1848 and 1855, characterized by the large number of immigrants who arrived in the vicinity of San Francisco (California) in search of said gold. This phenomenon began near the town of Coloma when gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill. When news of the discovery spread, about three hundred thousand people emigrated to California from the rest of the United States and other countries.

At first, gold seekers collected the metal in streams and river beds using simple techniques such as panning. But later they developed more sophisticated methods for extracting gold that were adopted throughout the world. The gold rush also had negative effects. The region’s Aboriginal people were attacked and driven from their traditional lands. The environmental impact that mining produced was also important
