The Copper Canyon

Riding the El Chepe train through the Copper Canyon is a thrilling experience that should not be missed if you are visiting northern Mexico. The adventure from the little town of Los Mochis to the even smaller town of Creel is filled with ever-changing scenery as you carve through canyons, traverse rivers on bridges and pass tiny station towns. Once in the Canyon, this is a hiking paradise with ancient trails formed by indigenous Raramuri communities that lead through dusty forests to the banks of fast-flowing rivers. If you want to return to a world where time exists in the seasons alone – this final frontier of Mexico is an unforgettable experience.
