Last weekend I visited the world's largest copper mine. Woo hoo! I know it sounds really boring, but it was actually a lot of fun. El Teniente Copper Mine is located IN a mountain that just happens to be part of the Andes Mountains. Needless to say, the area was absolutely beautiful. We got in our mining gear, toured the mine, had a miner's lunch (gross), then toured the mining town.
Fun fact: Chile produces 35% of the world's copper, making it the world's biggest producer.
