The mining town of El Triunfo lies in the hills between Todos Santos on the Pacific, and La Paz on the Sea of Cortez. In 1862 when gold and silver ore was discovered, El Triunfo's population grew to 10,000. The dance hall and supply store owners got rich. Elegant houses were built and soon El Triunfo became a cultured society.
Today, many of the original buildings are still standing and have been prettied up. Here one can find a piano museum and attend classical music concerts, and enjoy Marco's fine baking at Caffe El Triunfo.
