Copper Canyon - Travelling the railroad from El Fuerte to Divisadero
Posted by Zihrena

In September, 2001, John and I took a short 4-day train ride through part of the spectacular Copper Canyon system of the Sierra Madres in northern Mexico.

It was by no means a long enough trip to see even a fraction of the sights - one could easily spend a week or two traversing the mountains and gorges, with something new to see every day. But what we did see and experience we'd like to share with you here - including a lot of photos of the landscapes and its fascinating people, the Tarahumaras.
