Excursion Copper canyon train adventure (overnight 2 days/1 night) tour at Topolobampo

All aboard the Chihuahua-Pacifico Railroad for a thrilling and jaw-dropping ride through Copper Canyon, the largest canyon in North America. Travel from El Fuerte through five climate zones, from sea level to 8,000 feet and into the dramatic volcanic region of high sierras and plummeting canyons

Arrive in El Fuerte, and board a train on the Chihuahua Pacifico Railway. Enjoy a leisurely morning and a breakfast on board the train while you traverse the magnificent Sierra Madre Mountain range. Eventually enter the Copper Canyon, which is four times larger than the Grand Canyon and only accessible by rail. The approximately six-hour rail journey winds through tunnels and bridges as you climb from sea level to 7,200 feet. Traveling along the rails sometimes over 1,475 feet above the ground, the journey covers a distance of 400 miles over 37 bridges and through 86 tunnels.

Stay overnight at the Mirador Hotel overlooking Copper Canyon. The Mirador Hotel is located at the canyon's edge, near the highest point of the canyon. The Mirador is the only hotel where each guest room has a spectacular view overlooking the canyon, claimed to be one of the ten best views in the world. Located in the middle of the legendary Sierra Madre Mountains of the Mexico's state of Chihuahua, this immense series of canyons and ridges covers 25,000 square miles of rugged territory.

While staying at the Mirador witness a dance presentation by the Tarahumara, a reclusive tribe that has chosen to live apart from modern western culture, and subsists on corn, beans, and their livestock. The Tarahumara constitute the largest indigenous group in the state of Chihuahua.

The next day enjoy some leisure time or an optional (not included) tour to Divisadero and lunch at the hotel before boarding the train for the return journey back to El Fuerte. Transfer to Topolobampo and arrive at the pier.
