Los Mochis to ChihuahuaSaturday - Saturday, November 1- 8, 2003

It is a great pleasure to share with you the incredible landscape of Mexico known as the Copper Canyon, Tarahumara land. To provide new opportunities to see and walk various parts of this amazing land we differ our itineraries from year to year.

ITINERARY

This year we begin in Los Mochis, the western terminus of the Chihuahua al Pacifico train line. This is a perfect beginning for a week of exploring different views of Mexico¹s grand canyon system. The train ride will be spectacular, showing off the amazing engineering that went into creating this railway.

We will meet you in Los Mochis and take you to El Fuerte, a charming and historic town, to spend two nights before boarding the train on Monday for an unforgettable rail journey to Bahuichivo, then on to the village of Cerocahui, our home for the next two nights. Located in a valley, Cerocahui was settled in the 1600¹s and is a unique and real Tarahumara village, continuing a way of life which is centuries old. Then on to Divisadero to stay on the edge of Urique Canyon. What a view!!

We will walk into the canyons, explore and become acquainted with the Tarahumara and their ways. Friday we depart Divisadero via van, stopping in Creel and Cuahtecmoc, on our way to spend our last night together in the city of Chihuahua.

Tour includes lodging, breakfasts, five lunches, six dinners, all transport from Los Mochis airport to Chihuahua airport, and guided walking/hiking led by local guides.

Tour fee: $1695 ($395 add'l single occupancy). Tour deposit: $800. Reservation deadline: October 1, at which time the full fee is due.
