Pickup your 3 Amigos Truck Package at our Creel offices on main street at 9am
on Day 1. You'll claim your Amigo Pack full of maps and info. and speak with one
of The 'Amigos' who'll explain your trip, before you head off into the sunset.
Day 1: Drive yourself through The Valley of the Mushrooms, Frogs & Monks, Lake
Arareko, Cusarare Village and Mission, Loyola Museum, Basihuare Canyon,
Copper Canyon and finally into Batopilas Canyon to stop in the old mining village
of Batopilas at the bottom of the canyon.
You will have included in your Amigo Truck Package, a picnic lunch with table
and chairs so you can stop somewhere en route today and relax a bit while you
enjoy the views and some great healthy food.
You should take the whole day to get to Batopilas and arrive around 5pmish.
Spend the night in either the Real de Minas or Riverside Lodge Hotel (depends
upon availability) in Batopilas. Meals on your own.
Day 2: Today you'll either drive yourself or walk the 8 kms to Satevo to visit the
Lost Cathedral. After this, you can either drive or walk to the ruins of Hacienda
San Miguel, just across the river from Batopilas village. If you are still up for more
adventure, then you should park and hike down along the old aqua duct to see
some fantastic birds who live in the area such as; Trogans, Squirel Cuckoo, Mot
Mot or Military Macaws. Sleep in Batopilas again. Meals on your own.
Day 3: Say goodbye to Batopilas this morning after breakfast on your own and
head back towards Creel. You will stop in the Cusarare area at the Sierra Lodge
Hotel to spend the night. Time it right so that you arrive at the Lodge at 1pm, in
time for lunch. All meals included here as well as margaritas before dinner.
After lunch, walk the 40 minutes to the waterfall of Cusarare. Then take your time
relaxing in this wooded area of peace and tranquility. The Lodge does not use
electricity, which adds to the charm of the hotel. The Raramuri Indians live and
work in the area so you will have a chance to see them up close here.
Day 4: Today you'll drive to Basaseachi Falls, the highest waterfall in Mexico, in
Candamena Canyon. The drive takes 3.5 hours from Creel and you'll arrive in
plenty of time to do some hiking around this magnificent waterfall. There are
trails that take you up above the falls for a bird's eye view and some that take you
to the very bottom of it where you can feel the mist upon your face. Sleep tonight
at San Lorenzo Ranch in the heart of Basaseachi National Park. Meals on your
own.
Day 5: Return to Creel today at your leisure. You'll take another route back than
the one you took to get to the waterfall so you'll see even more of the area. Sleep
at Best Western tonight. Turn in your Amigo Truck tonight so that you can get an
early start tomorrow by either bus or train heading out of Creel.
If you need help with other hotel reservations or train tickets coming from the Los
Mochis area or going to Chihuahua after the trip, please just let us know and we
will be happy to do all your bookings for you and add whatever you might need to
your Package.
Amigo Truck comes with a full tank of gas, you must return it with a full tank of
gas. Taxes not included, restrictions may apply. Prices good through August
2009.
