Tourist, Visitor and Travel Information for Copper Canyon Mexico

The Chihuahua al Pacífico Railroad, known as ChP or Chepe, is a major rail line in northwest Mexico, linking the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, to the town of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, near the Pacific coast. It runs 650 km (400 miles), passing through the Copper Canyon, a beautiful and rugged series of canyons that have led some to call this the most scenic railroad trip on the continent, both an important transportation system for locals and a draw for tourists. The Chepe train has been operating through the Copper Canyon since 1961, with a state of the art infrastructure created by Mexican engineering. The Chihuahua-Pacifico line covers nearly 410 miles of railroad with 37 spectacular bridges and 86 imposing tunnels
