Mapiri Mining Exploitation
Mapiri is a town with intense mining activity around which the economic and productive tasks of the region revolve.. Mining is the main occupation of families dedicated to searching, exploitation and marketing of gold. The high prices in the international market in these years meant that all inhabitants were directly or indirectly linked to the exploitation of that resource..
Miners have developed diverse procedures individually and collectively, for the alluvial collection of “precious metal” which generally comes in the form of “chopsticks” or “seeds”. So, In the town of Mapiri there are a large number of cooperatives dedicated to the extraction of minerals.. Accessibility to this place is more favorable in the dry season from May to September. Greater care should be taken in the months of November to January due to the rainy season.. The visit to the population must be previously coordinated with the leadership of the cooperative members..
