would take about a month, without rushing too much and let's face it, most people
just don't have that much time to spare. So, below we will tell you about the
places to see and what to do there to help you make up your minds what to
choose with the time you have.

Divisadero is really a train stop that overlooks
the joining of Tararecua, Urique and Copper
Canyons. This view point is likened to the views
at Grand Canyon but there is no comparison in
features by any means. It's just that you are
looking at the very tops of these canyons and
they seem endless. There are some trails along
the cliff edge where one can see the Raramuri
one can hike into the canyons from here as
well should one wish to. There are 3 major
hotels on the rim in this area. The prices are
high as you are paying for the view so if you
can't afford that then just stay in Creel and do a
day trip up there in one of the Amigo Trucks or
even a Scooter. It's only one hour away from
Creel in a vehicle down a paved road.

These falls are located in Candamena Canyon, just
about 3.5 hours from Creel. There is another
nearby waterfall called Piedra Volada that is about
a day's hike from Basaseachi. This waterfall is
actually taller but This is the highest waterfall in
Mexico and it's can't technically be classified as
the tallest waterfall. Candamena Canyon is a very
cool canyon. It is the widest and has sheer rock
walls that are amazing to see. The expansiveness
of this canyon is what will really strike you.

El Fuerte is a colonial town about an hour North of
Los Mochis. If you are flying into Los Mochis (which
we recommend) then you should pay for a transfer
or take a bus directly to El Fuerte rather than spend
the night in Los Mochis. You'll enjoy your first night
much more there. Try to plan at least 2 nights there
too if you can so that you can do the relaxing River
Float trip or the more Adventurous Guided
Kayaking tour.

Cerocahui is reached from the Bahuichivo train
stop. It is nestled in a valley about 45 minutes from
the overlook of Urique Canyon. Cerocahui is very
small but it has a Cerocahui is a small mountain
town just 1/2 hour nice mission. This area is best
seen on fully guided trips due to the rustic nature
of Cerocahui and Urique. A trip to the bottom of the
canyons is not necessary as there is a great
overlook from above, unless of course your really
love canyon descents.

Sinforosa Canyon is the 2nd deepest in the
Copper Canyon system at 1830 meters. It is also
the most narrow and because of this it is
extremely difficult to hike so if you are looking for
a challenge then this is your canyon. This canyon
is located just outside of the town of Guachochi.
Just drive down an easy dirt road for an hour and
"POOF"! you are there. Overlook point is behind a
fence and closes at sunset.

Batopilas is an old mining village at the bottom of
Batopilas is an old mining village at the bottom of
van that goes daily from Creel (except on Batopilas
Canyon. You may get there by a bus or Sundays), or
by private tours from Creel or an Amigo rental
truck. You'll want to walk or drive the 8 kms to
Satevo while in Batopilas to see the Lost Cathedral.
The ruins of Hacienda San Miguel are nice to roam
about in and imagine what it must have been like
when it was one of the largest silver mining
operations so long ago. The old aqueduct is home
to a TON of birds such as the Trogan, Mot Mot,
Squirrel Cuckoo and Military Macaw so one should
definitely take a stroll along that while visiting. 2 or
3 nights are a must in Batopilas.

that go all the way to the bottom of the falls too if
you still have any breath left in you when you arrive.
