We were in southern Chihuahua and wanted to cross ali the canyons in the Tarahumara Mountains in a single trip. I had had my first encounter with one, like most of us, in the Copper Canyon, next to the railing at El Divisadero. The first thing that attracted me was the canyon itself, that deep gash in the earth where we discover that the paths clown are filled withloose rocks and it takes hours to des­ cend to the river. That was, in the end, the goal. Down at the bottom, nothing could be seen but the river and the mountains towering above. After a starry night or a full moon, in the morning, the air laden with smell of greenery and your ears filled with the incessant song of cicadas, you discovered that the river was really only half the journey and you still had to climb up again.

The “El Chepe” railroad crosses through the states of Sinaloa and Chihuahua and offers tourists breathtaking views of the canyon. This natural attraction is comprised of 23 square miles of mountains with legendary cliffs, waterfalls that reach heights of 1,500 feet, and expansive areas of pine and oak forests. Words cannot describe the views of the mountains and natural landscapes that exist in the canyon. In this incredible setting you can enjoy a variety of ecotourism activities, such as rock climbing, rappelling, mountain biking, horseback riding, and bird watching. The canyons are also home to the Raramuri or Tarahumara, an indigenous group whose culture dates back millennia and who still manage to retain their ancient customs and beliefs. Some of the most traditional Tarahumara communities live in Batopilas Canyon, which is known for its wealth of minerals. At 6,165 feet, Urique Canyon is considered to be the deepest canyon in Mexico. Also worth noting is Sinforosa Canyon with a depth of just over 6,000 feet, where you’ll find the Rosalinda and San Ignacio waterfalls and rock paintings that date back to the eighteenth century. Finally, Candamena Canyon is home to two of the tallest waterfalls in Mexico, Piedra Volada and Basaseachi. 1 TARAHUMARA CULTURE The mountains have been home to many indigenous cultures.

    Copper Canyon ADVENTURES The California Native For information or reservations call: (310)642-1140 (800)926-1140 www.calnative.com 2 Copper Canyon Copper Canyon is located in northern Mexico in the Sierra Madre Mountains, a vast scenic area of pine-forested mountains cleaved by huge, deep canyons. The canyon complex known as the “Barranca del Cobre,” or Copper Canyon, is four times larger than Arizona’s Grand Canyon and almost 300 feet deeper. This is the homeland of the Tarahumara Indians, who in spite of encroaching civilization, have managed to preserve their ancient traditional lifestyle, living in caves and simple shelters while practicing subsistence farming. They are considered to be the world’s greatest long-distance runners, racing up and down the vast area of canyons for transportation and sport. The Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad, which traverses the area, took nearly one hundred years to build. It passes through 86 tunnels and crosses 37 bridges as it climbs almost 8000 feet into the rugged Sierra Madres. It has been called one of the most spectacular train rides in the Western Hemisphere. Since 1983, we have been operating the very best trips through Copper Canyon. Our guides are known throughout the area for their work with the Tarahumara Indians, and we have become a major source of information on this remote area of Mexico.

  • COPPER CANYON from La Paz to Chihuahua, Mexico
    COPPER CANYON From La Paz to Chihuahua, Mexico The Copper Canyon, nestled in the Sierra Madre Range, is actually several large canyons covering 25,000 square miles of rugged territory, boasting a grandeur four times larger than the Grand Canyon of the United States, although different in nature; narrower, deeper, and more verdant. Homeland to the reclusive Tarahumara natives, the Sierra Madre is rich in history and legend, haunted by the restless shadows of fallen warriors, martyred Jesuits and Pancho Villa’s army. The Copper Canyon qualifies unquestionably for national park and world heritage status. This world-famous canyon system is one of Mexico’s natural, cultural and historic wonders. DATES: 2019-20 – SATURDAY – MONDAY, THURSDAY DURATION: 6 DAYS/5 NIGHTS EMBARK: LA PAZ, BCS DISEMBARK: CHIHUAHUA FROM: $1,498 TARAHUMARA INDIANS Airport to El Fuerte. Overnight at Posada del Hidalgo The dignified and reclusive Tarahumara Natives (also Hotel (El Fuerte, Sinaloa). known as Raramuri) are a tribe who have chosen to live apart from modern western culture. They live primitively, subsisting on corn, beans, and their livestock. In the winter they live in caves, moving into small log cabins in the summer. They are excellent weavers and produce fine wool blankets to provide The Posada del Hidalgo is centrally located for exploring El Fuerte. This beautiful hotel is a former colonial mansion built by Señor Rafael Almada in 1890. Most of the original pine beams and furniture were brought by boat from San Francisco, California. The hotel features a swimming pool, a hydro-therapy pool, restaurant, high ceilings with wood beams and two story balconies.
