However, of all the places that the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ has, a sign that says ‘Quiet Zone’ is the one that terrifies all visitors who come near it. But where is it and what is it like?

Between the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila and Durangoin the Mapimí region, with an extension of 3,430 square kilometers, is the ‘Golden Triangle’, where the Sinaloa Cartel operates, dedicated to drug trafficking and criminal activities. However, those who dared to walk there have confessed that there are dead animal bones all over the ground and human beings, indicated the newspaper ‘LA NACIÓN’.

Thousands of years ago, the ‘Zone of Silence’ was a gigantic ocean called the ‘Mexican Geocinclinal’.

“That part of Durango downwards used to be a sea, that’s why there’s a lot of mineral and that’s also why geologists and engineers say there’s a bit of an abnormal magnetism,” local journalist Nicolás Lucas told ‘LA NACIÓN’ newspaper.

Over there, live around 5000 people who have a rural lifestyle that depend on livestock and the tourism of foreigners who are going to visit them because of the mystery of the place.

On the other hand, as there is little population density in the “Golden Triangle” and the lack of signal, telecommunications companies do not invest in cell phone antennas or television, which is why many drug traffickers hide there from the Police.

“Reporters from that region say that they are the routes most used by criminals because there is no communication and there are almost no people. There is a drug trafficker, ‘El Mayo Zambada’, who has never been caught by justice and has always presumed that he knows every corner of the ‘Zone of Silence’”, explained the journalist.
