Parque Nacional Barranca del Cobre

Hold on tight. You are about to take the plunge into one of the most rugged and mysterious chasms on earth. Mexico established the Parque Nacional Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon National Park) to showcase this remote area.

The Copper Canyon is a group of canyons consisting of 6 distinct canyons in the Sierra Tarahumara in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The overall canyon system is larger and portions are deeper than the Grand Canyon in the neighboring United States.

The system is traversed by the Chihuahua al Pacifico railroad. It is both an important transportation system for locals and a draw for tourists.
