Take a ride on the El Chepe train

As mentioned above, the Barrancas del Cobre – known as the Copper Canyon in English – is easily the biggest and best attraction in Chihuahua, and can be accessed via Mexico’s only commercial passenger train, El Chepe, which departs from Los Mochis in Sinaloa. Splurge for the first-class ticket so you can hop on and off at various stops along the route and take advantage of the canyons and surroundings.
