Nature, Culture and Adventure in the Heart of Chihuahua
The Sierra Tarahumara, located in the southwest of the state of Chihuahua, is a natural and cultural treasure that captivates visitors. Made up of imposing canyons, majestic waterfalls, and indigenous communities that preserve their ancestral traditions, this region offers a unique experience for nature and culture lovers.
Copper Canyon: A Natural Giant
The Copper Canyon system, also known as the Copper Canyon, is a network of seven canyons that extends for approximately 60,000 km², being four times larger in area and almost twice in depth than the Grand Canyon of Colorado in the United States. Among its most notable formations are the Barranca de Urique, the deepest in Mexico at 1,879 meters, and the Barranca de Candameña, home to the Piedra Volada and Basaseachi waterfalls, the two highest in the country.
Rarámuri Culture: Living Tradition
Los rarámuris, también conocidos como tarahumaras, son los habitantes originarios de esta región. Reconocidos por su resistencia física y habilidades artesanales, mantienen vivas sus costumbres a través de la elaboración de cestas tejidas, cerámica y textiles que reflejan su conexión con la naturaleza y su cosmovisión espiritual.
Cerocahui: History and Spirituality
Cerocahui is a picturesque town nestled in the Sierra Tarahumara, known for its rich history and religious traditions. Founded in 1679 by Jesuit missionaries, it is home to the San Francisco Javier Church and the Tewecado Santa María Guadalupe boarding school, which continues to operate today.
Adventure at the Copper Canyon Adventure Park
For adrenaline lovers, the Copper Canyon Adventure Park offers exciting activities such as a 2.8-km cable car ride, a Via Ferrata for rock climbing and rappelling, and a system of seven zip lines that allow flights at heights of up to 450 meters. These experiences offer spectacular views of the mountains and their canyons.
