5 Bucket List Train Rides

El Chepe train in Copper Canyon, Mexico

5 Bucket List Train Rides


One is:

Mexico’s El Chepe

which ventures into the imposing landscapes of the Sierra Tarahumara and into Mexico’s famed Copper Canyon, passing through 87 tunnels and crossing 37 bridges. The Copper Canyon is four times the size of the Grand Canyon – and deeper.

“Mexico’s Chepe train from Los Mochis to Copper Canyon has it all: tall bridges crossing rivers, dozens of tunnels, a winding track that climbs high out of the canyon and, waiting for you at the end, the fascinating indigenous Tarahumara people.” --Eric Lindberg, freelance travel writer/photographer.
