Hidden high in the Sierra Madre above Mazatlan is the beautiful town of Copala which once was a gold mining area. Walking the cobblestone main street which is wide enough for a mule and VW beatle to pass each other. Children quickly surround you showing off the wood carvings they have made of the buildings in the town. The older... more
