The city of Zaruma played an important role in the mining of gold during both colonial and republican times.
The place was already settled in the pre-Columbian period by the local Cañari. The townscape, with its porches and wooden architecture, developed organically. The mines are now closed, only the 500m long tunnel of La Mina el Sexmo is open to tourists.
