Trip Overview
This three-day immersive trip will take you from Mexicos' Magic Town of Creel at 2,300 metres through four different canyons and three climate zones into the subtropical Magic Town of Batopilas just 400 metres above sea level.
Batopilas is an old silver mining village from the 17th century that was the second town in all of Mexico to get electricity. Your historian guide will tell you about the dramatic history of this old village, including the stories of the old 'Silver Trail' that was used by mule trains to bring silver out of the canyons and into the banks in Chihuahua City.
You'll even be able to walk along a section of that old SilverTtrail along the aqueduct, where tropical birds nest. There will be a stop to view Lake Arareko, San Ignacio Mission, Cusarare Waterfall and the rock formations in the San Ignacio Valley.
This trip is a great way to see a wonderful portion of this canyon region!
