Overview

Bridge crossing

Celebrated by National Geographic Adventure Magazine's Best Outfitters on Earth for 2008 and 2009, this Adventure Associates pioneer trek has been brought back by popular demand! Enjoy the best that the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad has to offer, considered one of the great railway journeys of the world, and the only railroad ever to traverse the rugged backbone of the Sierra Madre. From the train we will ride along the skirts of the Copper Canyon: deeper and broader than the Grand Canyon, Las Barrancas del Cobre, or the Copper Canyon, has been called "the most spectacular canyon system in all of North America". It is a place of gold and silver and sparkling rivers twisting through steep canyons with breathtaking vistas, sleepy Mexican villages, absolute quiet, ancient legends and an all-encompassing sense of remoteness. We veer from the tracks into one of the most remote towns in North America, Batopilas! Explore remote Tarahumara villages on a mule-assisted hiking and camping adventure. Each day offers a new adventure: breathtaking canyon views perched from a first class train, and along the canyon floor to the "Lost Cathedral" of Satevo and immersed in the canyon smell, sounds and culture of the Batopilas Canyon. Enjoy stays in rustic lodges of historic Mexican villas! Join us for an unforgettable hiking and rail program into Las Barrancas del Cobre!
