Train Trip to Copper Canyon

Next Day Next N    

Sturday, 1 December 2007 - Arrived in northern Mexico for a family vacation to Copper Canyon, traveled with a guided caravan group, managed heavy luggage including laptops, and began exploring the vast canyons, larger than the Grand Canyon, while enjoying the company of the tour group and our excellent guide.

The tour was 42 people strong. While there were several couples and small family groups including a larger hiking group from San Francisco. The group bonded quickly and we became fast friends. Most of the credit must be given to the tour guide, Tony Valdez. Here is the group photo actually taken on the last day.

Dad, Mary (behind him) and Virginia Ann on the right front and Mom and Cal on the back row.

Tony Valdez was a good guide - very good. Here he is explaining a mural about El Fuerte.

Tony is passionate about the history and culture of the Mexicans. He was not an employee of Caravan but, as is the process, assigned from the Ministry of Tourism to our specific trip.

Mexico is a beautiful country. This trip was one of several into Mexico as a family.

Not much to photograph on the bus ride from El Paso to Creel. Basically 8-9 hours on a bus rolling through the Mexican countryside in the state of Chihuahua.

We took a break in the city of Chihuahua for lunch and then stopped in La Junta for "good clean restrooms" under the cerveza sign.
