Copper Canyon tourist experience the most dramatic train ride in the western hemisphere

   All Copper Canyon trips are on the historic Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad "El CHEPE". The train winds its way from the Pacific Ocean up to the heart of the canyon's scenic splendor. Built over a 90 years period, this world-famous railroad is an engineering masterpiece. It has been called" the most dramatic train ride in the western hemisphere."    Most tours travel the most exciting part of the railroad, from sea level at Los Mochis, Sinaloa, to the highest portion of the line at creel, Chihuahua. Here you are near the top of the Sierra Madre range at 8,000 feet elevation. railroad trips go all the way to Chihuahua City.       The CHEPE railroad made the canyons accessible for tourist to enter this area long inhabited by the reclusive Tarahumara Indians. These samall, shy natives are famed for their long distance running ability. Some 50,000 Raramuri (people of the swift running feet) - as they call themselves -live in caves and other primitive dwellings, much as their ancestors have for the last 400 years.      For Copper Canyon Tours and information, please visit Torres Travel Company they will be happy to make your travel arrangemnts for you or schedule The Canyon Explorer    guided tour for your group.   El Chepe- Ferrocarril Chiuhuahua al Pacifico Train Stations ,  Traveling first class on El Chepe ,  El Chepe History           For more information visit: www.CopperCanyonExplorer.com
