In 1884, this site just 8 km from Angol, was chosen to extract hard rock to build the railway lines that would pass through the city. At its peak, up to 90 workers and their families lived there. The operations and blasting of the rock continued until 1970, when rock extraction from the quarries ceased due to the closure of the railway to Angol.
The abandoned buildings were houses and warehouses located near the quarries. The photos were taken before the COVID-19 pandemic period, and the walls have some tags and writings but no graffiti at that time. After operations closed in 1970, the quarry filled with water, forming the lagoon that exists until today. It is a tourist attraction, especially in summer, where people swim and do sports. The last photographs play with the shapes of the cut rock and its reflection in the lagoon’s water. Check out as well the pages about the graffiti at this lost place and the page about the graffiti at the nearby canales.
