Summary:

This site is an abandoned mine. It is not recommended for families. Explore this location with caution.

The Aztec Mine is located near the small mining town of Patagonia, near the Southernmost portion of Arizona. It is one of the most picturesque regions I have had the chance to visit.

The mine was created in a region that contained gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc. I specifically visited to look for copper minerals such as malachite and chrysocolla in the tailings pile.

The entry to the mine appears to be nearly collapsed but documentation online suggests the tunneling within is extensive. I did not enter this mine and would recommend against it.
