 Known as Barranca del Cobre, the huge cavernous canyons of Copper Canyon are large enough to envelope the Grand Canyon four times. The main attraction of the natural wonder is the Chihuahua al Pacifico railroad. This train travels over 661 km (410 MI) of track, passes through 87 tunnels, and crosses 35 bridges. Either beginning or terminating in Los Mochis or Chihuahua the train passes through land rich in history and culture as well as natural beauty.
Seismic and volcanic activity started the process of forming these huge canyons, pushing a large quantity of mineral wealth to the surface. Over many thousands of centuries, the Urique, Septentrion, Batopilas, and Chinipas rivers further carved the canyons.
Farming, cattle raising and mining are the means of wealth in this region. |
