miles from the capital, perched on a steep mountainside is the old mining colonial town of
Santa Lucia, preserving much of its 16th century atmosphere with its
cobblestone streets bordered by flowers and white houses that seem to perch on the
mountainside. The church on a hillside contains many sacred paintings, such as the Black
Christ of the Mercedes. Continue another 5-miles on the road to the picturesque Valle de
Los Angeles at the foot of La Tigra mountain, another old mining town that is now home to
various schools for artisans and the teaching of fine arts. Here to there is a 16th
century colonial ambiance.. Lunch will be included en route. (B/L)
