Overview

High Rim Overlook

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, sparkling rivers twisting through steep canyons, sleepy Mexican villages and ancient legends.
Adventure Associates was a pioneer of travel to this secluded region almost 20 years ago. Each day offers a new adventure: breathtaking canyon views perched from a first-class train, hikes to indigenous petroglyphs, and nature walks along the canyon floor to the "Lost Cathedral"of Satevo. Spend time exploring the colonial town of El Fuerte and the rough-and-tumble frontier town of Creel, followed by a dramatic change in scenery as we drive one vertical mile down the canyon to the most remote town in North America, Batopilas. The rich diversity of culture and topography of Copper Canyon is fascinating. The rim of the canyon is a pine, oak and mahogany forest while, a mile lower on the canyon floor, a sub-tropical environment of cactus, palm trees, and citrus trees flourish. Our trip is designed to immerse you in the canyon's magic and culture, as we stay in rustic lodges of historical Mexican villas!
