Copper Canyon

Create A Trip to the

Copper Canyon!

At Rancho Victoriano

 

  Our favorite thing at Copper Canyon Adventures is creating custom trips for people--you tell us what kinds of things you like to do, special areas you would like to see, when you can travel, etc., and we do the research to build a trip just for you!  

 

This is a feature found only at Copper Canyon Adventures -- and we are very proud to offer it to you.

Rob and I really appreciated the fact that you customized this trip and listened to our
many wishes. The trip could not have been better. It started with the friendly meet and
greet at the airport in Los Mochis by your staff.

We liked the T shirt  and the very good  and informative handouts we were given.Your choice of the hotels was excellent and so was their location. At every station we were met by very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We liked especially the driver who took us down to Batopilas. His love for the
Canyon and the sharing of his knowledge made it a very special excursion.

Thanks again for everything.

I just wanted to let you know that our family had a wonderful time during our trip to El Fuerte and Barranca de Cobre.  Kristina, Jose Luis and his wife and Jesus were all wonderful and made us feel very comfortable.  The Hotel El Fuerte was beautiful, the food was very, very good and the staff were wonderful.  We enjoyed the trip down the river and the boat trip on Lake Dominguez - and the barbecues on the river were fantastic!  We will never forget Cristina, Jose Luis and his wife and Jesus - they are very special people - they were like part of our family.

The Barranca de Cobre was incredible!  We enjoyed the train ride and especially enjoyed the trip down to Urique.  We were able to visit a small Raramuri school and a Raramuri home where we bought baskets.

We had a wonderful time and will never forget out trip to Mexico. Thank you for everything you did to make our trip enjoyable.

Our creed:

"Ecotourism is environmentally responsible travel and visitation to
relatively undisturbed natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate
nature (and any accompanying cultural features - both past and present) that
promotes conservation, has low negative visitor impact, and provides for
beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations
(Ceballos-Lascurain, Tourism, Ecotourism and Protected Areas, IUCN, 1996)".

 

(Note: We use the word Raramuri throughout as the most accurate name of the indigenous people of the Copper Canyon (what they call themselves, not the more commonly used "Tarahumara", which is actually a word the Spanish created))

 

Please note that while many of our trips start with your arrival in Los Mochis, we can modify ANY itinerary to start in El Paso or Chihuahua, if that is your preferred starting point.  Please note that because of the greater distances to many areas in the Copper Canyon from those two cities, itineraries which start from there may require more transportation time, and may be more expensive due to the increased transportation cost. These increased time and money costs may offset any benefits from lower airfares to these cities, but we will do what we can to keep your trip cost down.
