As you journey deep into the heart of Copper Canyon, the view outside the window grows more dramatic and primitive. The view inside, however, remains quite civilized, as Mexico’s premier passenger train transports you in first-class comfort. The ride takes you to the rim of Copper Canyon to explore its breathtaking beauty and indigenous Tarahumara Indian tribe. This dramatic train ride is the highlight of this tour, which also includes a taste of Mexico’s Sea of Cortez beaches, Kino Bay, San Carlos, the port city of Guaymas and the colonial silver mining town of Alamos.

Today when Fantasy guests catch their first startling glimpse of the canyon cutting deeper into the earth than the Grand Canyon… all things seem dwarfed by its grandeur.
The closer you get, the more you see. The canyon walls climb from desert flora to high pine forests, wrapping around fertile valleys dotted with crystalline mountain lakes. Intricate twists of the canyon reveal waterfalls, wildlife, archeological sites and the dwellings of the shy Tarahumara Indians, called the most primitive tribe still living in North America. More than 50,000 semi-nomadic natives still live in this region in the traditional style of their ancestors.

The ancient explorers in Copper Canyon had some advantage over contemporary travelers; on foot or horse, they could more easily get an eyeful of this mystical land without a partner nervously reminding them to keep their eyes on the road. Luckily, RVers can now tour this wonderland while gawking and gasping to their heart’s content.

How? You have two first-class options. For the passenger train experience of a lifetime, you may leave your RV parked at a secured RV park in Los Mochis and travel aboard the Premier Express Train and stay at a deluxe hotel at the rim of the canyon. If you prefer to ride in the comfort of your own wheeled home, you can take your RV with you, securely fastened to a specially chartered platform car on the Piggyback Rail System. Either option leaves you free to stare and utter exclamations as the train climbs to 8,000 feet, over bridges, into tunnels and through terrain that Reader’s Digest called “the most dramatic train ride on earth.”
