Copper Canyon Postcard

Copper Canyon, or Barranca del Cobre, is a majestic series of six distinct canyons in the Sierra Madre Occidental. Larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon, this natural wonder is characterized by its dramatic green-hued walls, rugged peaks, and the historic Chepe train that winds through its high-altitude passes. The region is the ancestral home of the Rarámuri people, known for their incredible long-distance running abilities. Visitors are treated to breathtaking vistas of pine-oak forests, cascading waterfalls, and deep subtropical ravines that offer a profound sense of scale and ancient geological history.
