COPPER CANYON
The Copper Canyon, in the Mexican Sierra Madre mountains, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and spectacular places in the natural world. This system of six canyons is four times larger than the Grand Canyon and is reachable only by the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railway, commonly known as Chepe. This interesting area has legendary inhabitants, the Tarahumara Indians, famed by their capacity to run great distances and the skill to create beautiful baskets of pine leaf and pottery. Explore this area by train, traveling 1,000 feet above the Chiapas River, through 86 tunnels. Your journey will take you from Los Mochis at sea level to towering 8,000-foot peaks before descending back to the city of Chihuahua. Many packages are available that can be customized to fit your desires. Itineraries can include a variety of meals and sightseeing options.
