 Copper
Canyon is the most impressive geological site in
the Americas with over 15 million acres. Almost
half of them are part of the precipices between
the states of Sinaloa and Chihuahua.
Crossing this rugged terrain will leave you amazed
with canyons that have an average depth of 5,100
feet or the stunning waterfalls of almost 1,500
feet. Splendid natural settings with a diversity
of ecosystems are due to the contrasting elevations
ranging from 1,350 to 6,900 ft. above sea level,
with forests of mainly pine and live oak on the
highlands and tropical flora and fauna on the canyon
lowlands.
Copper Canyon is the home to a millenary culture
called the Raramuris or Tarahumaras, an ancient
civilization that still preserves its traditions,
merging Catholic liturgy with their traditional
rituals.
With this breathtaking scenery as a backdrop,
you can do some ecotourism activities like rock
climbing, rappel, mountain biking, hiking, horseback
riding, fishing, bird watching and extreme sports.
The Copper Canyon Mexico is traversed by the
Copper Canyon Pacífico railroad, known by the nickname
"Chepe". The Chepe train has been operating through
the Copper Canyon since 1961, with a state of the
art infrastructure created by Mexican engineering.
The Copper Canyon Train offers four daily departures
for passengers, two for the first class train and
two more for the economic class train...
