Copper Canyon

You can enjoy some of the most rugged and stunning scenery in Mexico in the Copper Canyon, which gets its name from the coppery-green color of the canyon walls. It’s also an excellent destination for adventure activities and nature observation. This canyon, located in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, consists of a network of six canyons in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range. Consequently, they are several times larger than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The canyons were formed by six rivers that drain off the western side of the Sierra Tarahumara, then merge into the Rio Fuerte and ultimately empty into the Gulf of California.
