Mapimí Silent Zone, Natural park in Mapimí Desert, Mexico.

The desert area spans 50 square kilometers at the intersection of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango states, featuring distinct geological formations.

In 1930, Mexican pilot Francisco Sarabia first documented radio communication failures while flying over this desert region.

Local residents share stories about unexplained phenomena, including radio interference and electronic equipment malfunctions in the area.

Visitors should bring extra water supplies and navigation equipment, as the desert terrain presents limited cellular coverage.

Scientists record frequent meteorite impacts in this region, potentially connected to the elevated magnetic levels in the ground.
