Experience Unforgettable Copper Canyon

By James Fisher


To make your visit smooth though, it is advisable to liaise with a tour company, who can either pick you from Texas or meet you in the Copper Canyon, whichever you prefer. They will make all the travel arrangements for you so you can enjoy a stress free journey. And what better way to really enjoy a vacation than to ensure that it's a stress free journey.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Copper Canyon has a range of attractive scenery, including the Copper Canyon nature park, which is longer than 600 km and wider than 250 km. A rail road cuts through the canyon, spanning over 400 miles with 86 terrific tunnels and 37 bridges. An amazing site for any traveler or adventurer to see.

One of the most popular hot springs in Mexico, The Hot Springs are easily located completely accessible by foot, horseback and bicycle. Your visit to the Canyon would be incomplete without a hike up to this fabulous spring. Paquime Historical Site is one of the oldest religious and commercial centers in the north, and the main early Hispanic settlement zone. Buildings in the Paquime are distributed in a fascinating maze design, giving a sneak-view of how life in the olden days was in the area.

Note that on reaching the Juarez bus terminal (on the border), you will need to connect to another bus, except if the bus was going to Copper Canyon from Texas directly. However, this is not a problem, as most bus operators make travel arrangements for visitors going to the canyon. They will book a seat for you on the first available bus to the Copper Canyon at no additional cost if you notify them in advance. There are numerous departures to Copper Canyon every day.

It is also one of the oldest missions in the Canyon, and most of the original architecture remains intact. The Escultura de Cristo Rey in Creel where an 8m white sculpture stands is another fantastic site with a panoramic view of the city below. There are numerous other activities you can safely enjoy here, including mountain climbing, hiking, cycling and swimming.
