The methods of getting around while visiting Copper Canyon depend on whether one wants to explore the canyons or get around the canyon area.

            Thousands of visitors come to Copper Canyon each year solely for the abundance of hiking and biking trails available for exploring the twenty canyons.  There are many companies around the area that offer guided trips through the canyons, either on foot or horse.  Ideally, this is the best way to see the canyons, as visitors are surrounded by the area’s natural beauty during the entire trip.  Visit this Copper Canyon Trekking page for one company working in the area.  However, not everybody who wants to see Copper Canyon also wants to hike or ride a horse.

            The Copper Canyon Express is a train that operates between Los Mochis and Chihuahua.  The journey provides breathtaking views of Copper Canyon, which is why most tourists take the train.  Local people tent to take the second class train, but the first class train is much more comfortable.

            Driving is a good way to travel through Mexico, as it allow one to see the passing countryside that is otherwise missed.  However, before deciding to get behind the wheel of a car, check out this Driving in Mexico page.
