A beautiful and seldom-seen region located along the scenic Copper Canyon route.
We hired Cesar Gonzalez Quintero as our tour guide in Creel for 5 days. The 1st three days were visiting the sites at the top of Copper Canyon. The last two were driving down to Batopilas and then out to Urique and Divisedero on an unpaved one lane dirt road (this is recommenced for only the most adventurist of travelers but worth it). Cesar spoke excellent English and did a good job of explaining the history of the area and showing the sites. Cesar figured out that my buddy and myself wanted to hike and would drop up off to hike and tell us where he would meet us. An excellent trip with spectacular scenery made better by an excellent guide.

Scenic spot for hikers through Copper Canyon that includes dramatic waterfalls, ancient ruins and cave dwellings.
Copper Canyon has some great waterfalls including 870 foot Basaseachi, but most involve a fairly serious hike to get to them. The one exception is Cusarare Falls which while no walk in the park, is quite accessible for most people in decent shape and it's definitely worth getting to. This is not a place you are likely to find on your own, but there are several ways of getting there. First you can stay at the very rustic Sierra Lodge from where there is an easy 3 km. trail which you can do on your own or pay for a guided tour from the lodge. The second way is to take a day tour from the magico pueblo of Creel which will includes the falls and some of the amazing rock formations in the area.. Depending on the type of vehicle you can get to within almost a kilometre of the falls by parking by the pedestrian suspension bridge. This does involve one crossing of the usually shallow river by your vehicle. If the river is too high you will need to walk in from the other side which is about the same distance as the Sierra Lodge trail and the two join up after the bridge. The pine forests of Chihuahua are beautiful and fragrant and a pleasure to walk through. Long before you get to the falls you will come across the Tarahumara indigenous vendors selling their wares. They are not aggressive and will not bother you if you choose not to browse. However, their handmade products are ridiculously cheap and you might want to stop on your way back. Don't be surprised if you get a young child who will tag along with you as I did and probably a dog or two as well. The trail arrives at the top of the falls where there are some very nice spots for photos of the falls which are very impressive in both the length of the drop and the width. The best views are from the bottom, but this involves going down and back up a couple of hundred stairs each way. From what I could tell on my visit most people stayed at the top. My recommendation is to go down and then take it very slowly going back up as you will notice the elevation here. Definitely one of the highlights of the Copper Canyon area and not to be missed.

Filled with the mysteries and customs of the local Raramuri local people, this region offers visitors hiking, horseback riding and guided river tours.
Not much to see if you're on a driving tour, but an easy bike ride from Creel if you're up for country bike rides. Motorcyclers seem to love this spot, two groups arrived while we were there for 25 minutes. Beautiful scenery, and there are many long and short walks available from the parking lots. Rest rooms weren't generally available while we were there.
