Copper Canyon Adventures
Fishing/Copper Canyon combo Itinerary
Day 1:
Bienvenidos a Mexico! Your arrival in Los Mochis, Sinaloa
State, will be the start of your Mexican adventure. Please try to schedule your arriving
flight into Los Mochis in the afternoon, if possible. Your trip guide will meet you at the
airport (If you are arriving by means other than commercial aircraft, please advise and we
will make the necessary arrangements to pick you up). You will then be taken to your hotel
on Lake Dominguez, where, depending on your arrival time, you may be in time to enjoy a
tremendous sunset over the lake with your dinner.
Meals included: Dinner
Day 2:
Lake Dominguez. Wake up in the morning to a wonderful
lake view-and the chance to catch some Black Bass! Your first fishing trip leaves either
before or after breakfast, depending on your preferences, while the second will be in the
late afternoon. In between trips, relax by the lake and have a great lunch.
FOR THE NON-FISHERMAN: While the fisherman hit the lake, you can enjoy
sightseeing, shopping and cultural exploration in El Fuerte, a very colonial and
traditional town only 15 minutes from the lake. We will work out a schedule to fit your
preferences, but here are the tours available for your enjoyment:
Handicrafts shopping tour
Mayo Indian village tour
El Fuerte city tour
Fuerte River bird watching
Petroglyph tour
Traditional medicine/medicinal plants workshop
Horseback riding
You can even take a tour of the lake, if you want !

Day 3:
For the fishermen, have another go at landing "the
big one"! The record in Lake Dominguez is over 12 pounds, so good luck! For the
non-fisherman, enjoy another day exploring in and around El Fuerte or enjoy the
tranquility of the Hotel Villa Dominguez. It is up to you! As an added bonus, after
dinner you will be treated to an exhibition of traditional dance and music.
BLD
Day 4:
After breakfast, you will be taken to the Chihuahua al
Pacifico (Chihuahua to the Pacific-CHEPE) train station in El Fuerte. There you will meet
the first-class train that will take you on one of the world's great train
journeys-through dozens of tunnels and bridges, CHEPE is, even 40 years after its opening,
an incredible feat of engineering in an awe-inspiring landscape.
The area around Temoris is especially impressive-there the train climbs the
valley and even loops around itself before reaching the uppermost portion of the track
high above the valley (it also passes close to the base of a high waterfall!):
A bar car is available on this train for relaxation and conversation. Upon our
arrival in Bahuichivo in the afternoon, you will be taken to your hotel in
Cerocahui-gateway to the unspoiled Copper Canyon.
There will be time after lunch for a two hour horseback ride in the beautiful
area around the lodge, a hike to the "Cave of the Crosses", or just relaxing
amidst the mountain scenery.
Dinner will be around a campfire, with spectacular views of the stars and
planets available with a professional telescope.
BLD
Day 5:
Full day tour of Urique. Today we will travel to the
bottom of the canyon for spectacular views and breathtaking panoramas. Be sure to bring
your camera! Lunch will be in Urique, the country seat-originally a Spanish mining town.
We will return to the lodge in late afternoon in time to clean up for dinner.
BLD
Day 6:
Your morning is free.
After lunch we will return to Bahuichivo for our return train ride to El
Fuerte-and a great train sunset! Upon our return to El Fuerte, we will return to Lake
Dominguez for our final two nights in Mexico.
BLD
Day 7:
For the fishermen, this will be your last full day on the
lake. For the non-fisherman, today will be a great chance to return to El Fuerte to finish
your shopping, enjoy the colonial architecture or try some of the local delicacies.
If there is still a tour you would like to do (or do again), just let us know
and it will be arranged!
