The Copper Canyon is a very remote area, and trip planning is difficult without
knowledgeable help. In addition to our regularly scheduled group tours to the
Copper Canyon, we arrange
custom itineraries for independent travelers for
clients traveling on their own. If you wish
to book a trip to the Copper Canyon with us, we can custom-tailor it to fit any need. Daily
departures are available from Los Mochis or Chihuahua City. We recommend
beginning your trip from Los Mochis or El Fuerte so you may see the most
dramatic part of the route during the prime time of the day.
Posada Mirador on the Rim, Divisadero Area We offer optional certified bi-lingual native guides to accompany you on the entire trip to the and to give you the most complete experience in Copper Canyon. Their valuable knowledge of the area and the people offer a depth of insight and rich opportunities for inter-cultural exchanges that you would not have on your own. We would make your reservations at hotels, for food and transportation,
and--if you are not accompanied by a guide--arrange for you to be met and
helped by English speaking people along the way (a real must if you do not
speak Spanish). We also would send you a complete packet of information about
the sights you will see, including a full-color book on the Canyon. |
Chepe Train We consider the hotels in this remote area that we use as the best
available. They range from deluxe to rustic. Comfort, scenic locations and good
service are their hallmarks, and the water and food are all safe. All rooms
have private baths.
The following are
suggested itineraries for individuals. When you book your trip with us, we can
custom-tailor it to fit your time frame, your interests, your energy and your
budget. (Terms
