In it there are more than 50 species of cacti and other fauna, within its 6 hectares, something very interesting is that they have specimens that are over 500 years old.

Music is part of humanity and El Triunfo houses a whole museum dedicated to it. Most of the pieces that we can find in the El Triunfo Music Museum are donations of instruments by the same inhabitants and family members of the town. It shows different instruments that belonged to the most important families in the region, including that they were owned by prodigious South American musicians. The museum has a sample of pieces that belong from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, in addition to scores, photographs and endless documents that lead us to enjoy the past.

Finally, the main attraction, the La Ramona Fireplace. This architecture of the town is of international fame because the architect who designed it was Gustav Eiffel, who is the author of one of the wonders of the world, the Eiffel Tower. This chimney of more than 46 meters high was built in 1890, under the command of the company El Progreso, who was the company in charge of the mining industry of the town.
