In Spanish, Barranca del Cobre, is a region in the desert of northwest Mexico that hosts some of the most spectacular and stunning natural scenery in Mexico’s inland territory.
It is actually a series of twenty canyons, formed over the years by six rivers. The area is sometimes compared to Arizona’s Grand Canyon, although the Copper Canyon region is at least seven times the size, and has different topography, flora and fauna to the Grand Canyon.
We are also very excited that we will be seeing the Tarahumara people, descendants of the Aztecs, that still live a simple life in these canyons, as they have done for thousands of years.
We will be riding West to Mazatlan, MX, to see the Pacific Ocean and then to Divisadero, MX and then take the Copper Canyon Train Ride, until El Fuerte, MX and back again. The Copper Canyon railway is a stunning piece of engineering achievement. The railway line is over 390 miles (650 km) in length, crosses 39 bridges (the longest bridge is over 500 meters long) and 86 tunnels (the longest over 1,500 meters long). The line crosses some of Mexico’s most rugged terrain; hugging the edge of mountains and crossing deep ravines on its bridges. The scenery it travels through is breathtaking.
