Copper Canyon, Mexico: Divisadero Lookout Point + Hotel Divisadero Barrancas; things to do + hotel review

Hotel Divisadero Barrancas  

Situated on edge of the canyon, within walking distance of the train station, the very special Hotel Divisadero Barrancas has a great lobby for lounging and enjoying cocktails while taking in the spectacular view.

Divisadero Lookout Point  

In Arepo.  The Divisadero Lookout Point offers a spectacular view of Copper Canyon that includes Piedra Volada—a mound that projects out over the canyon with an enormous round rock on top that visitors like to climb on and dangerously rock from side to side.  Many Tarahumara Indians sell their handmade crafts and souvenirs here.

If you find yourself leaving, like I did, from the Divisadero train station, be sure and try a wonderful gordita.  I paid about $1, and it was made right in front of me on a converted grill-sized can.
