My sister and I went on a 5-hour horse ride with Luis (and his very energetic and lovely dogs). We saw some amazing waterfalls and rode through canyons. Luis is one of the nicest people we met on our trip to Mexico, and we can't wait to come back and do the week-long horse ride! Thank you Luis!!

Reviewed By maritimeexplorer - Nova Scotia, Canada
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.
