Often called one of the most scenic rail journeys in the world, The Copper Canyon takes an exhilarating trip back in time, weaving through the rugged beauty of Mexico's colossal canyon maze. Four times the size of the Grand Canyon, the pristine Copper Canyon is the highlight of the trip. Along the way, experience the enchanting traditions of Mexican culture, found in the music, food, and clothing of the people who have made their homes in Mexico's rugged frontier. Meet the Tarahumara Indians - people who have thrived for generations in the remote caves. Featuring passenger cars of the 1940s and 1950s that have been painstakingly restored, an impressive 6,000-foot tunnel, and spectacular views from the canyon's rim, this excursion promises a comprehensive look at Mexico's awesome landscape.
