THE "GRINGO" AND THE LITTLE DOG
"When I went to the village of Creel to sell
my bear grass baskets I saw an old White Man being pulled by a little dog around
the square. At first I counted how many circles it pulled the old man
around and then I finally lost count. People said a "Gringo" was driving
the little dog-and that he even spoke to the dog in English, telling him when
and where to turn and when to stop. These people are very strange!"
Life Through the Eye of the Tarahumara- Romayne Wheeler
Get on board for your
train journey through the remote Copper Canyon system, the world-famous 8th
wonder of the world. This mammoth labyrinth of seven indescribably beautiful
major canyons qualifies for national park & world heritage status. Wider,
greener and a mile deeper at one point than the Grand Canyon in Arizona, this
Copper Canyon system should be a "must see" on everyone's travel list.
Imagine yourself riding through this immense series of canyons & ridges that
encompass 25,000 square miles of rugged wilderness territory. Rivers born in the
high pine forests have carved a 10,000-mile maze through spectacular
steep-walled gorges into the volcanic rock of the Copper Canyon Sierra Madre
Occidental Mountain Range. With temperatures ranging from 55-77 degrees almost
every month of the year is desirable weather in the Copper Canyon.
We utilize the award winning Balderrama Hotels in the prime locations of the
canyon system.
Wind
your way up from the Pacific Ocean through the most exciting part of the
railroad, up into the heart of this scenic splendor, as you ride the
historic
Copper Canyon Chihuahua al Pacífico Railroad. Built
over a 90-year period, this railroad is an engineering masterpiece. The
Readers'
Digest has called it "the most dramatic train ride in the western
hemisphere."
Visit the cave homes & ranchos of the Tarahumara Indians who have
made the Copper Canyon country their home for three centuries. These proud
people have retained their unique culture far better than most other native
North Americans. S & S Tours works hard to ensure your visits with the
Tarahumaras are sensitive, appropriate & positive for all
concerned.
Would you believe the Copper Canyon group tour packages
also include all meals, train station transfers, tours, hotels & tips
(except naturalist guides)? Itineraries may be subject to slight changes
on these tours.
Do not delay in calling us and booking your Copper Canyon
adventure in one of the last remaining unspoiled wildernesses of our continent.
