12 Fun Facts About Copper Canyon

,

Copper Canyon is one of the most unique places on Earth. It’s a sprawling, interconnected series of six canyons in the Sierra Madre mountains in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its geography is unusual: its peaks maintain a mountainous, seasonal alpine climate, while its valleys stay sub-tropical and warm year-round.

This rare climate lays the groundwork for the extraordinary diversity of wildlife, culture, and history Copper Canyon holds. Here are a few facts worth knowing about one of the most beautiful regions in Mexico.

1. Explosive Volcanoes Forged The Six Canyons of Copper Canyon 40 Million Years Ago

Visitors often wonder, “How was Copper Canyon formed?” The answer is intriguing!

Copper Canyon was formed about 40 million years ago in the Western Sierra Madre mountains, encompassing Sierra Tarahumara. That entire region lay within the Sierra Madre Occidental volcanic field, a chain of volcanoes that were, at the time, highly active and reactive. Tectonic plates were also shifting.

Ultimately, shifting faults led six rivers to flow in a specific direction, eroding the ground and creating the six canyons over time. The process was hastened by volcanic activity: flows of ash and lahars (hot mudflows with sharp volcanic debris) carved Copper Canyon far faster than erosion would alone.

After this rush of activity, Copper Canyon and its rivers remained largely stable for the next several million years.

2. The Name “Copper Canyon” Comes From The Copper-Green Hue of the Canyon Walls

Where did Copper Canyon get its name? The Spanish named the six-canyon region “Barranca del Cobre” or “Copper Canyon” when they first encountered it in the 17th century. They named it for its colors, which are reddish brown and copper-green.

3. Copper Has Never Been Mined There, But Silver Has

Despite its name, Copper Canyon was once best known as a repository of natural silver, not copper. The Spanish began mining Copper Canyon for silver in 1632. In 1861, the region experienced a huge “silver rush,” with many newcomers funded by American investors hoping to strike it rich in the mines.

The silver bonanza lasted until the mines began running low in 1906, then ended permanently with the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Though the silver mines eventually closed, the boom era completely transformed towns like Batopilas.

4. Copper Canyon Is Over A Mile Deep (6,136 Feet)

How deep is Copper Canyon? It’s the deepest canyon in Mexico.

The deepest point in the Copper Canyon system is the bottom of Urique Canyon, 6,136 feet deep below the canyon’s rim. The average depth of the canyon system ranges from 3,300 ft to 4,600 ft down from its plateau.

5. The Copper Canyon System Spans 25,000 Square Miles

Visitors often wonder, “How big is Copper Canyon?” In terms of its ground, Copper Canyon covers 25,000 square miles of land.

Most of the Copper Canyon system’s plateaus rest 7,200 ft. – 7,800 ft. above sea level. Its highest point reaches an elevation of 8,300 ft.

6. Copper Canyon’s Indigenous Rarámuri Are The World’s Fastest Distance Runners

The Rarámuri are the cultural group indigenous to Copper Canyon, and they’re recognized worldwide for their extraordinary skill in long-distance running. In Rarámuri culture, foot racing is a celebrated community event—an event that’s highly competitive.

A disproportionately high percentage of ultramarathon world records are held by Rarámuri runners. Recently, a Rarámuri runner named María Lorena Ramírez Hernández made headlines for dominating a 50km trail run marathon—while wearing a skirt and Huaraches.

7. Waters Plunge 1,485 Ft Over Copper Canyon’s Piedra Volada: Mexico’s Tallest Waterfall

Copper Canyon is the site of several breathtaking waterfalls, including Cascada Basaseachi and Cusarare Falls. The grandest is Piedra Volada. It’s over 1,400 feet tall, and it carries an extraordinary volume of water during the rainy season.

8. Over 1300 Animal Species Live In Copper Canyon, a “Biodiversity Hotspot”

Conservation researchers call the Sierra Tarahumara region of Copper Canyon a “biodiversity hotspot.” Sierra Tarahumara is a roughly 3,000,000-acre expanse targeted for preservation, due to its high density of biodiversity.

Researchers believe 3,271 distinct species of plants, and 1,301 animal species, make their home in Sierra Tarahumara’s 4,700 sq. mile radius. This includes hundreds of endangered species, like the Mexican Gray Wolf.

9. Copper Canyon’s “Monk Statues” Are Natural Formations of Ancient Volcanic Ash Flows

One of the strangest sites in Copper Canyon is the Valley of the Monks. This section of the canyon is filled with tall, strange formations of volcanic rock.

While the formations are wholly natural, they look eerily like giant statues of stoic people—complete with serious, expressive faces. Most who see the formations say they look like mythical gods, or perhaps monks, giving the valley its name.

10. Copper Canyon’s Hot Springs Are Warmed By Magma That “Cooled” 5 Million Years Ago

There are several hot springs (and slightly-cooler “warm springs”) in the Copper Canyon system. The most popular include the Basirecota hot springs, the Owerabo hot springs, El Pandeño, Ojo de Dolores, La Cueva del Diablo, and the Recowata Springs.

Unlike the geyser at Yellowstone, these springs aren’t warmed by subterranean magma flows. Instead, the source of heat is igneous rocks: blocks of lava that have cooled and solidified, yet even in their cooler state retain incredible heat.

11. Copper Canyon Is Home To Four Pueblos Mágicos: Unique Towns With “Magical” Character

At the start of the 21st century, Mexico’s Ministry of Culture launched Programa Pueblos Mágicos, or the “Magical Towns Program,” an initiative highlighting the beauty and cultural richness of unique, oft-overlooked small towns.

Towns are chosen when their community’s culture, traditions, craftsmanship, or festivals have a truly unique, magical spirit. A Pueblo Mágico must have something visitors truly won’t find anywhere else—not even in the next town over.

Currently, four towns of Copper Canyon have earned the Pueblo Mágico designation:

  • Batopilas, for its flourishing blend of  Rarámuri, Tepehuán, and Spanish traditional arts, and its unique cultural events like the Festival of the Sierra Tarahumara.
  • Creel, for its unique natural landscape, thriving Rarámuri culture, and Sacred Art Museum.
  • Casas Grandes (Paquimé), for its preservation of a rare archaeological site of the prehistoric Mogollon culture
  • Guachochi, for its preservation of the traditional Rarámuri art of weaving, historic Jesuit missions, and the first Indigenous Center of Mexico’s National Institute of Indigenous Peoples.

12. Over Half Of The Iconic El Chepe Rail Line Runs Through Copper Canyon

The El Chepe Railway (also called the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico) is a spectacular feat of engineering.

The rail was first conceptualized in the early 1860s as a means to connect Mexico’s central northwest to its Pacific Coast. Construction began in 1897, but solving the puzzle of engineering a stable, swift railroad across wildly diverse terrains was a challenge. The rail line was finally completed in 1961: a full century later.

Yet, building El Chepe was 100 years well-spent. Today, the train’s route through Copper Canyon is lauded as one of the most scenic rail experiences in the world.

Is It Safe To Travel to Puerto Vallarta?

The Best Hotels in Copper Canyon, Mexico

Finding the perfect hotel is crucial to any vacation, whether visiting the awe-inspiring drops of Copper Canyon or the white sand beaches of the Bahamas. If your travels will soon take you south of the United States border and to the beautiful copper ravines of Copper Canyon, you’ll need a place to stay. Here are a few of the best Copper Canyon, Mexico hotels.

Copper Canyon Overview

Copper Canyon, or Barrancas del Cobre, consists of several large canyons stretching for many miles as part of the Sierra Madre Occidental of Northwestern Mexico. Its impressive depths have been carved over many years by rivers that meet to create the Rio Fuerte. This river winds along the canyon, eventually spilling into the Gulf of California.

The combined length of its ravines is four times larger than the Grand Canyon in the United States, making it a must-see. It even boasts deeper ravines than the Grand Canyon, with some gorges plummeting over a mile from the rim towering above.

Despite its name, the Copper Canyon isn’t full of copper. While there are a few small-scale copper mines in certain areas, this area has primarily produced silver and gold, helping to make Mexico the world’s largest producer of silver. Instead, the name comes from the reddish hue of the rocky outcroppings and plunging drops.

This canyon is home to over a dozen remote towns and the Tarahumara people, an Indigenous group known for extraordinarily long-distance running. Many wild animals reside in the rocky depths, including black bears, pumas, white-tailed deer, otters, and hundreds of bird species.

 

The Best Hotels in Copper Canyon

Copper Canyon and the surrounding cities have plenty to offer, from hotels and restaurants to activities and entertainment. You’ll need somewhere to go after a lively day of fun, so here are a few options to consider.

Hotel Divisadero Barrancas

Nestled in Chihuahua, Mexico, this cozy Copper Canyon hotel is perfect for those who don’t mind rustic simplicity in exchange for jaw-dropping views. Hotel Divisadero Barrancas offers modest, rustic-styled rooms with the basics, but the views make up for the simplicity. The hotel is positioned mere feet from a plummeting ravine, so the rooms have exceptional views overlooking the canyon.

The restaurant offers simple but delicious cuisine, and a nearby walking path provides the perfect place to take a sunset stroll after dinner.

Hotel Mirador Posada Barrancas

Perched on the canyon’s rim, this hotel boasts spectacular canyon views below. Warm lighting and rustic decor lend a cozy, inviting feeling to common spaces and rooms. The rooms feature exposed beams, warm lighting from bedside lamps, and rustic themes. Balconies off many of the rooms offer privacy to wind down in the evening and enjoy the breathtaking view.

Exceptional meals await you in the dining room, each carefully planned to ensure a finite balance.

Hotel Mansion Tarahumara

Like previous options, this hotel rests atop the canyon rim, offering breathtaking views of the ravines below. The rooms are small but cozy, featuring a rustic style with everything you need and nothing you don’t. A restaurant, laundry, swimming pool, hot tub, gym, and conference room are available for guests visiting the hotel for optimal convenience.

This hotel is mere minutes away from lively attractions, including the Divisadero Train Station and the Adventure Park, which boasts a zip line and tram into the canyon.

Hotel Parasio del Oso

This charming hotel features quaint rooms ranging from compact and large enough for one or two people to massive rooms with enough beds for an entire family. The dining room and lobby area feature a display of Tarahumara artifacts and rustic decor.

Plenty of activities are available to occupy your time, from scenic drives and sightseeing tours to horseback rides and nature hikes. Each stay includes all meals, wireless Internet, and transfers to and from the Bahuichivo train station.

Hotel San Felipe del Real

This boutique hotel is based out of a historical property built in 1884, featuring cozy accommodations with just six suits available for up to 14 people. Each room features different decorations, with old furniture and antiques adorning the space.

A peaceful library offers solace from the chaos of daily life, while the gardens invite you for a calm interlude. Breakfasts are available, featuring eggs, ham chorizo, fruit, toast, coffee, and more, but nearly two dozen restaurants are within walking distance if you want something different.

Copper Canyon Riverside Lodge

The Copper Canyon Riverside Lodge takes visitors back in time, featuring numerous antiques, period art, and old furniture. This hacienda has rums on multiple levels, with gardens teeming with tropical plants scattered throughout. It’s tucked in the small town of Batopilas, situated at the bottom of Copper Canyon.

The road to Batopilas isn’t for the faint of heart, though, as it’s full of steep switchbacks and plummeting drops to one side. While the road was previously made of dirt, it’s since been paved. If you enjoy adventure and stepping out of the norm, this lodge might be the perfect place for your stay.

Choosing the Right Hotel

You’ll probably spend roughly half your time in your hotel (at night), so choosing suitable accommodations is essential. As you search for the perfect Copper Canyon hotel for your needs, there are a few things to consider.

Budget

Before you start browsing, determine how much you want to spend per night to stay in a hotel. If you’re working on a tight budget, filter the results by setting a nightly limit. This way, you won’t fall in love with a cozy hacienda that is out of your price range.

Location

Consider the hotel’s location and proximity to restaurants, shopping, and activities. Public transportation is typically available, but it’s best to think things through. Do you want to be able to walk to a restaurant for breakfast? What activities do you plan to do, and how will you get there?

Each answer will help you determine the perfect location for your stay.

Amenities

If you prefer any particular amenities, like a swimming pool, gym, or conference room, keep that in mind as you search. Many of the smaller, family-owned hotels in this area don’t have the amenities common in chain hotels, so unless you plan to stay in a large hotel, you might need to look for a while before you find one with the amenities you want.

Availability

Remember to book your hotel in advance, as availability may vary based on the hotel you choose and the time of year. Some hotels in this area are quite small and fill up fast, so plan ahead to ensure you can stay in the hotel you want.

Guest Reviews

Take a few minutes to browse through guest reviews on each option you consider. These reviews can contain valuable tidbits and helpful insights that can help you determine whether the hotel is the right fit for you.

Travel Tips for Copper Canyon

Before you visit Copper Canyon, there are a few things you should keep in mind, including the best times to visit, transportation options, and safety considerations.

  • Best time to visit: While Copper Canyon boasts incredible views year-round, September through April is the best time to visit. You’ll miss the rainy season, the mosquitoes, and the sweltering heat.
  • Transportation preparation: Buses, trains, and taxis can take you to Copper Canyon, although availability can vary based on where you stay. When planning your trip, browse through available transportation options in that area.
  • Cultural sensitivity: Before traveling to Mexico, familiarize yourself with its cultures and customs to ensure you can practice cultural sensitivity there.

  • Safety considerations: Always remain alert and aware of your surroundings and avoid wearing signs of wealth, such as luxurious clothing or expensive jewelry.
