High score (8-10) · Your profile
General Heliodoro Castillo — the municipality of Campo Morado — is deep sierra between the Costa Grande and the tierra caliente and includes the Minera Media Luna gold and silver mine, one of Mexico's significant mining operations. The mining operation brings outside workers and creates a different economic dynamic than purely agricultural sierra municipalities. If you're in mining, engineering, or mineral resource fields, this is an unusual window into the Mexican extraction economy.
Mid score (6-8)
Very remote sierra municipality with mining as the dominant economic activity. The mine brings some outside contact but the community is fundamentally remote highland with poor road access. Social life is local mining community-based. Nothing here for a visitor without professional purpose.
Lower score (below 6)
One of the most remote municipalities in Guerrero with roads that deteriorate in rainy season. The sierra here has also been affected by organized crime — mining municipalities in Guerrero have had specific issues with extortion of mining operations. A foreign man without clear professional reason to be in Campo Morado is in an unusual situation.
