The entire railroad passes through 86 tunnels and 38 bridges in the 25,000 square mile canyons of the Sierra Madre. The five major canyons are collectively known as the Copper Canyon, which is four times the size of the U.S. Grand Canyon. The Tarahumara Indians live in the Canyon. Stop this morning in Temoris where you can see three ascending levels of the railroad. Enjoy lunch on board in the dining car.

Morning at leisure to enjoy spectacular views of the Copper Canyon from your hotel. Walk to see the Tarahumara Indians who live in the canyon caves below or mingle with the Tarahumara artisan vendors who gather in front of the hotel. After lunch, drive by the old Bocoyna mission, built by the Jesuits in 1692. Continue to Chihuahua for a fun two night stay. Enjoy a traditional Mexican dinner. BLD

The Copper Canyon Train
The Chihuahua-Pacifico Railway, completed in 1961, after 90 years of construction, is a modern marvel of engineering. The same rails are used by all trains going through the Canyon. With Caravan you travel both the south and the north route in a spacious air-conditioned chartered first class train car.
They are operated by Ferrocaril Mexicano, exclusive owners of the Copper Canyon rail route. In the rare event of a train stoppage. Caravan will make alternative arrangements.
Both of your Copper Canyon train rides are scheduled in the daytime for the best lighting for views and photography. Often the train can be delayed for up to a couple of hours. A roundtrip train ride doubles your chances of viewing the canyon during daylight. Also, by going roundtrip, you can see a different side of the canyon in each direction.
Comfort and Safety, First Class Car
Caravan has reserved an entire first class train car. For your comfort, there are always more seats in your car than there are clients. For your health, animals are not permitted in your car. For your safety, the seats in your train car are only available to Caravan clients and are not open to the general public.
