There is something magical about a Copper Canyon vacation. When standing over the Copper Canyon’s majestic heights, enthralled by the vastness of the six canyon network and its alluring copper color, you cannot help but to feel as if you are in on one of nature’s best kept secrets. The Copper Canyon, also referred to as "Barrancas del Cobre," spans 37,000 miles within the Western Sierra Madre. Mexico’s Copper Canyon is both larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the United States.


The rugged landscape of the mountain range has preserved the mystery and remote environment of both the Canyon and it’s indigenous people, the Tarahumara or Raramuris. Traversing one of Mexico's national treasures, the Copper Canyon Train gives us unrivaled access to the unforgettable landscapes and rich history of the canyon. A visit to Mexico’s Copper Canyon would not be complete without experiencing the world famous Copper Canyon Railway.


The Chihuahua al Pacifico railway, "Chepe," provides impressively unique access into Copper Canyon country and is considered one of the most scenic railroads in the world. On its 420 mile run, this engineering marvel goes through 86 tunnels and over 32 bridges, passing spectacular scenes of Mexico’s mountain interior, the Pacific coast, and every type of landscape in between.

From Los Mochis, located at sea level, the train makes a sharp climb up the western slopes of the Sierra Madre through pine and oak highlands to the heart of the Copper Canyon region, Divisadero. Divisadero, meaning “look out point,” is the only point at which the train touches the rim of the canyon. This is a breathtaking sight that is not to be missed on a Copper Canyon tour. Finally, the Copper Canyon train makes its way to the grassy plains of the Chihuahuan desert where after dropping off passengers, it begins again the return journey back to Los Mochis.
