Trip Dates
Detailed Itinerary

This Copper Canyon hiking expedition is a rugged adventure through the awesome canyons of Northern Mexico. It is ideal for active travelers wanting to combine remote Copper Canyon hiking in pristine wilderness settings and wildlife viewing opportunities with visits to local villages and towns very much off the beaten path.

Copper Canyon Hiking highlights include:
Copper Canyon:

  • Hiking through two enormous canyons in the vast Copper Canyon system.
  • Wild campsites near remote Tarahumara villages perched on canyon walls with mule and walking access only.
  • Visits to remote settlements of native Tarahumara and sharing the canyon trails with indigenous farmers and ranchers.
  • Overnights in the historic frontier settlements of El Fuerte, Cerocahui, Creel, and Chihuahua.
  • Train journey on the famous Chihuahua al Pacifico railroad from the pacific coast to the rim of the canyon. This train ride is a highlight in itself showcasing the spectacular transition between the dazzling Sea of Cortez  and the arid canyons of the Sierra Tarahumara.
