This week we follow the Copper Canyon Rail Line. This railroad marvel took almost 90 years and 90 million dollars to complete. The Copper Canyon railway is a stunning piece of engineering achievement, over 390 miles in length and crosses 39 bridges (hopefully we can fly under a few) and 86 tunnels. It opened after decades of construction in 1961, the railway was designed to connect the Pacific Ocean with Mexico’s central desert territory and Chihuahua.The route is a major freight connection between Chihuahua and the coast and one of the most scenic rail journeys in the world and very popular with tourist
The line crosses some of Mexico’s most rugged terrain; hugging the edge of mountains, and crossing deep ravines on its bridges. The scenery it travels through is truly breathtaking.A journey through Copper Canyon is one of the most enthralling journeys you can take in Mexico. The train ride itself is remarkable, the scenery is amazing, and the whole experience will become a lifetime memory for you and those travelling with you.
