Copper Canyon, Mexico- Sierra Madre Explorations

Canyon Travel operates trips differently than other operators with our private ecolodges. Most other tour operators do not operate lodges and they offer very little in the operation of their travel services. Our Uno Lodge is reason enough to book our services. Experience wilderness without a mass of tourists and be closer to nature and to the culture. View Military Macaws and Thick-billed Parrots flying overhead and Coatimundi and other wildlife that does not go near other lodges. Visit with Raramuri (Tarahumara) like dropping in on neighbors in contacts that unfold naturally. Independent travelers like our services the best because there are not hoards of tourists or buses at our lodges.

"The best of the bunch is Canyon Travel.
Canyon Travel is pretty much in a class by itself.
It has lined up some beautiful small lodges in the canyons and in EL Fuerte and staffed them with talented local guides. Canyon also offers a lot of flexibility, and it takes responsibility for the people it sends into the Sierra."
