Make sure you do the whole stretch and make stops along the way. First class is a must. More

We reserved the tickts per e-mail. We started in Los Mochis and ended in Chihuahua. It was great. The train really leaves right on time. It is rather clean and the seats are quite comfy. The food on the train is not so good...and especially for the money you pay. I enjoyed the trip very much! We were told that... More

Our small group rode southbound all in one day -- more than 15 hours on the train -- and returned the next day as far as Divisadero. Seats are comfortable and we were allowed to ride in the vestibules between cars to take photos or enjoy the weather (cold and windy in our experience). Dining car has good food, but... More

We did the El Chepe trip in April and the scenery was wonderful, but all grey/brown due to it being the end of the dry season. I would like to see it after the wet season, it must be even more spectacular. We chose to get off the train and stay 1-2 nights in 3 different towns along the way... More

I enjoyed the ride on the CHEPE train because of the scenery in the mountains. WOW! I recommend first class, and if on second class, be careful not to loose your seat. More

This is one bucket list things you should do. The Copper canyon is breathtaking, the trains is from another world and the stops are worth staying at for a day. You can make this a 12 train ride or a 6 day adventure with stops along the way. More

We took the train starting on Chihuahua for the first time. First class it's about 180 dlls, second class it's about 80 dlls. We paid first class because we need to travel on a Monday with no flexible date and since we were traveling with young children wanted to ensure seats for everyone. Well... first thing you should know… let... More

is considered one of the most scenic rail trips in the world. We have not done all the other ones,but this journey is fantastic with great vistas. Stay 1 or 2 nights in Divisadero to hike the region on the rim of the canyon. More
