www.fertur-travel.com Colca Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in the world. At 10727 feet (or 3270 meters) deep, it’s more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, and is neck and neck with the nearby, but almost inaccessible Cotahausi Canyon for the title of world’s deepest. Dotted along the ridges, and hidden in ravines you’ll find villages where Andean traditions and culture still thrive. Each ridge provides a new breathtaking view of spectacular river valleys, lined with pre-Inca terraces carved into the mountainside. From their nests in the rock face, Andean condors soar overhead, with a wingspan of up to 10 feet across. The Canyon draws adventure sports enthusiasts with mountain biking, white river rafting and kayaking. But the trek into and out of the Canyon is an adventure in itself, with dozens of switchbacks along paths that meander around and under enormous cliffs formed from volcanic rock.

Mexico’s Copper Canyon The Adventure of a Lifetime
01 year ago
The Copper Canyon isnât a single canyon but rather a series of massive interconnected gorges totaling more than 25,000 square miles. The canyons are 1. 5 times deeper and cover four times the area of Arizonaâs Grand Canyon. This is where the U. S. Army hunted Pancho Villa for ten years without success.
Six of the major canyons in the system are:
Urique Canyon 6,136 ft. deep
Sinforosa Canyon 5,904 ft. deep
Copper Canyon 5,770 ft. deep
Tararecua Canyon 4,674 ft. deep
Batopilas Canyon 5,904 ft. deep
Oteros Canyon 3,225 ft. deep
Pine, oak, pinon, juniper and madrono tress are found in the heights of the canyon. Tropical vegetation, bananas, mango, avocados and citrus trees thrive at the bottom of the canyon. The Copper Canyon is home to nearly 300 species of birds, nearly 100 species of reptiles, deer, bears and large cats. It is the ancestral home to the private, self â sufficient Tarahumara Indians, perhaps the most primitive Indian tribe in North America. In the winter they live in caves and in summer, small log cabins.
Visitors to the Copper Canyon are overwhelmed and express their feelings saying: âThereâs a National Geographic photo around every cornerâ, and âthis makes the Grand Canyon look like a pothole. â
One of the best ways to view the Copper Canyon is by train. Many RVerâs were able to take the âPiggyback Train. â The RVâs were loaded on flatbed railroad cars and from the comfort of their RVâs they enjoyed the magnificent sights. Sadly the Piggyback has been discontinued.
You can still take the passenger train, Chihuahua â al Pacifico Railroad, which was 90 years in the making. RVerâs have several choices of campgrounds where they can leave the RV. The train runs every day between Chihuahua in the north and Los Mochias by the Sea of Cortes. The ride is some 300 miles through the western Sierra Madre mountain range. Your adventure will take you through some 86 tunnels, the longest being 5,966 ft. , over one mile, and over 37 bridges, the longest being 1,635. 5 ft when crossing the Rio Fuerte and with Chinipas Bridge the highest at 335 ft.
The trip through the Cooper Canyon is without a doubt â âThe most dramatic train ride in the Western Hemisphere.
Dick I is an active RVer, having traveled extensively in U. S. and served as a wagon master for the Piggy Back train through Mexicoâs Copper Canyon. Learn more about the RV lifestyle by visiting http://www. irvrvs. com/ RVing the RV lifestyle .
