    I will be traveling to the Copper Canyon on my motorcycle around the end of November. I plan to ride from Creel to Batopilas, then Urique and out the sout to Tubares, Choix, El Furte and down to the coast. I will be riding in some remot areas an am concerned about the current situation there. I found the following comments on this web site: https://authenticcoppercanyon.com/2010/08/23/is-copper-canyon-mexico-safe-for-travel/
    Can you comment on the veracity of the following observation?
    In the more remote and rugged canyonlands hiring a local guide is strongly recommended as the landscape and climate are harsh and unforgiving of errors. In addition this is an area of drug cultivation, and unaccompanied American tourists (usually groups of motorcyclists) have disappeared in the past, presumably killed by narcotics traffickers. The area south of Batopilas towards Durango is an especially intense zone of narco activity.

    Thank you,
    Smitty
