The cemetery of
Puquios:
About one kilometer east of Puquios, we find the old cemetery on the
northern edge of the valley, with its considerable dimensions, a still,
mute witness to Puquios' tumultuous past. Near the old cemetery is the
old Sofía mine. There was a cable car there for a long time to carry
down the mine's rich ore minerals.
Unfortunately, the ravages of
time gnaw at the old cemetery. In 2003 only one grave site was
maintained. The walls and tombstones are almost entirely dilapidated.
