| The Copper Canyon (Spanish: Barranca del Cobre) is a canyon system in the Sierra Tarahumara in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. The canyon covers over 20,000 square miles and is  four times largerand deeper than the Grand Canyon in the neighboring United States, although the Grand Canyon is larger overall than any of the individual canyons of the Copper Canyon system. There are actually six separate canyons in the Copper Canyon system, each of which is spectacular in its own right. Mexico deemed this major tourist destination and established the Parque Nacional Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon National Park) to showcase this remote but beautiful area. The scenery is incredible, and the best way to enjoy it is by taking the railroad line through the mountains. A stay of a few days will also give you the opportunity to see and learn something about the unassimilated Tarahumara Indians who live in the area...More about Copper Canyon
