Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad

One of the most spectacular rail journeys in North America is the famous "Train Ride in the Sky" which skirts the rim of northwestern Mexico's remote, majestic Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon). This awesome rift with its adjoining, intricate maze of canyons is four times the size of Grand Canyon and one and a half times as deep. Acclaimed as a surprising and most daring engineering feat, construction of this amazing railway through these vast gorges of the Urique River was begun at the first part of the century, abandoned for almost half a century, then finally completed in l961.

From the high plains of Chihuahua, climb up to cross the Continental Divide amidst the peaks of the Sierra Madre, then plunge down through the canyons to the picturesque colonial town of El Fuerte just 100 feet above sea level. From El Fuerte´s 100 foot elevation to the 7,600 foot height of the old minning/logging town of Creel you will wend your way through canyons, 86 tunnels, and cross 39 major bridges. Creel has many hotels and shops. Or, you can stay in one of the many other many hotels at the other stops along the way. Experience absolutely breathtaking views during this dramatic ride aboard the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railway.

Journey through the home of the ancient, primitive Tarahumara Indians on the most extraordinary rail adventure in the Western Hemisphere.

The 1st class returns to El Fuerte at 7PM, the 2nd class at 9:30PM
If you continue on to Los Mochis the train ride is 2 hours more.
