Overall, the best time to visit the Copper Canyon is during the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) when the weather is mild, with comfortable daytime highs around 20-25°C (68-77°F). I traveled the Copper Canyon in mid-November and the weather was only slightly chilly and there was hardly any foreign tourist. It can get pretty cold in t...
By Plane
The nearest major airports to the Copper Canyon are located inChihuahua and Los Mochis. It depends on which direction of the Copper Canyon train you decide to travel; if you’re going eastwards, fly to Chihuahua; if you’re going westwards, start your trip in Los Mochis. Both cities have international airports and are well connected to other major cities in Mexico such as Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City. A round-trip flight from New York to Chihuahua costs around US$500 while domestic fl...
By Car
While the Copper Canyon is the most roadless region in Mexico, the roads here are generally well-maintained and easy to navigate. But as the cartels control some areas here, it is important to exercise caution and take common-sense safety precautions while driving in Mexico. If you don’t intend to take the Copper Canyon train, it’s best to rent a car from either Chihuahua or Los Mochis. The drive from Chihuahua is approximately 6 hours, and the drive from Los Mochis is approximately 4 hours....
By Bus
There are several bus companies that operate regular services to the Copper Canyon from Chihuahua and Los Mochis. Search for buses here. Buses are cheaper, faster and more frequent than the Copper Canyon train — but you’ll be missing out one of the world’s coolest train journeys! To explore the canyon-bottom villages like Urique and Batopilas, buses are the best way to go. The train only traverses on the canyon rim and not to the bottom, so you’ll need to catch the dusty, shared colectivos or...
The Copper Canyon train essentially runs between Creel and Los Mochis (and in the other direction). Creel is located in the Chihuahua highlands, while Los Mochis is on the Pacific Coast. You’ll be traversing the high-altitude mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, with every twist and turn of the train revealing dramatic landscapes. It is import...
You can actually take the train right through from Chihuahua to Los Mochis (or the other direction) in 10 hours — but the Copper Canyon is worth so much more of your time! I spent a week on the Copper Canyon train, stopping at various points for 1-2 nights and then hopping back on again. It was a fantastic way to venture deep into the canyon, do so...
The Copper Canyon train itself has a good safety record, with no major accidents or incidents reported in recent years. The train is operated by Ferromex, one of Mexico’s largest railroad companies, and undergoes regular safety inspections. In recent years, there have been isolated incidents of violence in the Copper Canyon region, mostly related t...
Considering how close the Copper Canyon is to the US border, I was surprised to see very few foreign travelers. Sadly many foreigners are deterred from traveling around northern Mexico because of the narcos-related crime that plague the region. Most of the violence is still concentrated around the border areas; I personally didn’t feel unsafe at al...
I’m a travel writer and seasoned traveler — but planning out the Copper Canyon train trip was tricky even for me. Because different trains run on different days and times, and there are over 15 stations in the route (which one to pick?!), it takes time and effort to draw out a plan and itinerary. That’s why so many people prefer to travel on a Copp...
The main differences between the two trains are the onboard facilities, the stations they service, the schedule, and of course the price. The best way to make the most of your time in Copper Canyon is to take a combination of different trains. Most foreign tourists take the Chepe Expressas it’s the much easier to book Express tickets online. It’s a...
In general, it’s not cheap to ride the Copper Canyon train; but it can be done on a budget if you plan well. While the prices are high, the trains are just as comfortable as those in the US and Europe. However, they aren’t quite as punctual and reliable and both trains often experience delays. I took the Chepe Express (tourist class) mainly and the...
Both the Chepe Express and Regional trains are relatively comfortable (thou dated), with air-conditioning and proper cushion, reclinable seats. There’s plenty of luggage storage space in each cabin, as well as overhead compartments for your daypack. Both trains have restrooms in each cabin, and restaurant cabins. If you opt for the first class seat...
Over 9 hours, the train travels more than 350 km (220 miles) departing from Los Mochis, Sinaloa up to Creel, Chihuahua, a Magical Town (Pueblo Mágico) in the heart of the Sierra Tarahumara, passing through the majestic Copper Canyon. Cross one of the most imposing mountain range of Mexico through bridges and tunnels, gems of Mexican engineering.
1 de may. de 2023 · Journey through the Copper Canyon by train and experience one of the most scenic train rides in the world. The Copper Canyon is one of Mexico’s lesser-known gems. Situated in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, this canyon system is larger, and in some places deeper, than the Grand Canyon.
20 de may. de 2018 · The Copper Canyon Railroad, also known as the Ferrocarril Barrancas del Cobre, the Ferrocarril Chihuahua-Pacifíco and El Chepe, is one of Mexico’s coolest attractions. While the train is far from the biggest attraction in this Mexican canyon system, it’s still a fabulous part of the experience.

15 de dic. de 2023 · The El Chepe train is the only passenger train in Mexico. It is located in Chihuahua and most visitors come here because of the Copper Canyon.
