Went there last year. Great place to visit but probably more dangerous than any working or abandoned mine that I have been in. Dusty, hot (40 centigrade plus), high altitude (4000m), dodgy crawls under rocks and free climbs down winzes. But worthwhile to see the miners almost working in C19th conditions.

Disclaimer: Mine exploring can be quite dangerous, but then again it can be alright, it all depends on the weather. Please read the proper disclaimer.
