Fantasy’s experienced “Wagonmasters” are waiting to escort you across the border to visit our good friends in Mexico.  They will show you through this remarkable mysterious part of the world where not too many have gone before you. Your RV will be parked at a campground while you travel via 1st class express train through the magnificent Canyon. You will experience an interesting mix of the modern and the ancient living side by side, stay in some of the most elegant historic hotels (one right on the rim of the canyon), visit cave dwellings of the Tarahumara Indians, ancient inhabitants of this remote area. A unique highlight of this trip is an excursion to the floor of the Canyon, traveling down over a mile in elevation where missionaries established missions in the 1600s and silver mining flourished in the 1800s. On the way back to the USA we spend a few days relaxing on the beautiful Sea of Cortez beaches in San Carlos. Fantasy will escort you back across the border to finish this great trip in a 5 star RV resort in Tucson Arizona (unlike other RV tour companies who leave you at the border). Bring your cameras, the scenery is incredible!  Come along, It’s awesome!

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.

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. The 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.”

We have incorporated Copper Canyon into many of our Mexico tours... How could we not want to share a place so magical?

Join Fantasy RV Tours on a First Class Passenger Train to the Copper Canyon. Described as North America's most scenic train ride we provide an opportunity to really see the magnificent scenery of the Copper Canyon aboard the Premier Express Train on the Chihuahua-Pacifico Railroad. We park Rv’s at a secured RV park in Los Mochis and travel abroad the train staying at a deluxe hotel at the rim of the canyon. We believe that the experience is truly worthwhile and that you will enjoy the scenery and people of this unique region.
