Customisable Itinerary
4.6 • 1 traveller have booked with Marco Ivan F.
Trip Overview
Enjoy a taste of the Copper Canyon, Mexico, touring on this deluxe four-day adventure through the Copper Canyon!
The Copper Canyon is best explored on a longer trip as it covers over 28,000 square miles, however, if you are very short on time and still want to dip your toe into the canyon system, then this four-day adventure trip will give you a bird's eye view of many different canyons, and an overnight stay in Batopilas, an old silver mining village at the bottom of Batopilas Canyon that normally takes several days to get to traversing the canyons by vehicle.
You'll fly by private charter plane from El Fuerte to Batopilas with a seasoned pilot and your historian guide, soaring over many canyons for exceptional canyon viewing. Then, you'll enjoy the rest of the day sightseeing in Batopilas, along with a private tasting of Sotol and Lechuguilla. The following day, you'll drive up to the upper sierra through four different canyons, with a stop en route for a luxury picnic with regional award winning wine above Urique River at the bottom of Copper Canyon, arriving in the Magic Town of Creel for the night.
You'll be transferred privately to the airport in Chihuahua directly from Creel the following day.
