Authentic Copper Canyon train trips are small group immmersions into the fascinating culture of the Sierra Madres. We cater to individual interests, indulge the luxury of spontaneity, and let our curiosity run as we explore this vast land by train, road, and foot.
-all hotels and restaurants are safe and clean and each has been selected to give you a huge dose of authentic old Mexico.
-the itinerary is loose and an emphasis is placed on maximizing your connection with this great land and its gracious poeple.
-our team and our Mexican partners are learning based and intentional about you having the most enriching experience.
-the trip is not a hiking/sleep on the ground deal, but there is always the option for a hike, bike, horseride, or whatever.
-bottom line is, when we say authentic, we mean it and you are going to experience real Mexico in one of the greatest places the world has never seen.
-the train experience is like icing on the cake…truly one of the world’s most spectacular railways!
