Copper Canyon Tour
7 DAYS 6 NIGHTS MOTORCOACH / RAIL TOUR
Travel on the Ultimate All Inclusive Copper Canyon Vacation Tour!
Mexico's Copper Canyon is the largest canyon in North America and a destination unlike any other! For those who love the unusual and seek adventure, the "Barranca del Cobre" is the answer. At an altitude of 8000 feet, the mountain peaks are snow-capped in winter while the canyon bottom remains a tropical climate. Here is the home of the semi-nomadic cliff dwellers, the Tarahumara Indians, the least acculturated Amerindians. The "Train Ride in the Sky", provides the only access to the wilderness and is probably the most dramatic railway journey in the Western Hemisphere. Travel with us to a canyon four times larger than the Grand Canyon.
