Copper Canyon Train to Villages
The Copper Canyon Train is the most popular method of reach
the canyon for tourists.
On the First class train, diesel locomotives pull passenger cars
and a dining car once a day from the eastern end of the track at
Chihuahua to the western end at Los Mochis, 405.8 miles.
At the same time, a train leaves from the western end at Los
Mochis headed over the 400 miles of track for the 15 hour trip to
the inland city of Chihuahua on the eastern end of track.
These trains stop at Posada Barrancas, Divisadero, and
Creel among other stops.
The Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacifico or ChePe, as the train is
called, starts its run at 6:00 am from Los Mochis, an industrial
seaport town on the Gulf of California and the Sea of Cortez.
The train follows Urique Canyon on its run to the villages at nearly
8000 feet elevation and then on to the city of Chihuahua on the
central plateau.
Three days a week, on alternate days, a second class train
leaves Los Mochis at 7 am and makes the same run with a few
additional stops. Second class trains also leave from
Chihuahua on alternate days.
Copper Canyon, Barrancas del Cobre
The trains traverse the Copper Canyon area on the north side of
Urique Canyon. The canyons were formed by rivers that drain
the Sierra Tarahumara, part of the Sierra Madre Occidental
range. The rivers flow into the Rio Fuerte which flows to the
Pacific through the town of El Fuerte, one of the key stops on the
train line.
