CopperCanyonExplorer.com - The Newest and most complete travel guide to Copper Canyon, Mexico.

The Copper Canyon, nestled in the Sierra Madre range, is actually several large canyons boasting a grandeur four times larger then the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, although different in nature; narrower, deeper and more verdant. Homeland to the reclusive Tarahumara Indians, the Sierra Madre is rich in history and legend, haunted by the restless shadows of fallen warriors, martyred Jesuits and Pancho Villa's army.   The Copper Canyon qualifies unquestionably for national park and world heritage status. This world famous Canyon system is one of Mexico's natural, cultural and historic wonders. The canyon and ridges, covers over 25,000 miles of  rugged territory. Rivers born in the high pine forest have carves a 10,000 mile maze of spectacular steep-walled gorges into the volcanic rock of the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountain range. Standing on a canyon rim surrounded by pine-oak woodland, you look down on a giant cactus and tropical trees over 5000 feet below. Watered by summer thunder storms, the canyon country is a virtual planet of greens highlighted by the reds and yellows of the dense oaks in spring and fields of wildflowers in atum.

Launched in 2001, the program provides financial assistance to places that "reflect the beauty of traditional Mexican culture" according to the Secretary or Tourism. The program has met with great success in terms of increasing tourism and bringing a much needed business into these areas. Currently, there are 34 towns that are officially listed as Pueblos Magicos. If you want to experience Mexico's rich history and colonial architectural past then these places are definitely worth visiting.
