2nd Day El Fuerte - Copper Canyon All aboard on a morning train departure traversing the 8,000 foot ascent into the Sierra Tarahumara during optimum daylight (8:30am - 1:20pm) along the most dramatic and renowned segment of the Chihuahua Pacifico route. View spectacular scenery and experience the engineering marvel of the railway, with its 2.25 miles of bridging and 11 miles of tunnels! Your accommodations for 2 nights is the Uno Lodge. A 6 mile private road takes you to the Tarahumara owned ecolodge, the "Uno," with breath-taking and seemingly endless landscapes of canyons and mountains. From the lodge's secluded stretch of canyon rim property, gaze into the enormous gorge formed by the mile deep meandering river. An afternoon walk through the dense forest around the lodge and along the rim will introduce you to this never-before-seen, pristine wilderness area, and the only panoramic river views of any lodging in the area. Visit with nearby Tarahumara families, cooperative owners of 60,000 wilderness acres and the lodge. You may chose your level of physical activity from easy to moderate walks or guided day hikes. Spectacular views of the canyon river bottom are seen from the dining room and other room windows throughout the lodge. |
