We got off the train in Creel, Chihuahua. Helen and I were really pleasantly surprised by Creel. You're over 6,000 feet high amongst the pine trees. Creel sits at the edge of the main part of Copper Canyon and is a quaint little town. We were downright chilly at night in April and it gets considerable snow here in the winter. We only had one ful...

From Sayulita, we drove to El Fuerte and hopped on the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico (Chihuahua-Pacific Railway), also known as Chepe train to travel through the Copper Canyon to Creel. The train was quite scenic but we don't recommend taking back to back days of eight hour train rides from El Fuerte to Creel and then back to El Fuerte. Duri...

So we never did see Los Mochis in daylight, however my understanding is that we didn´t miss much.

Buses have been the hardest part, with no ...

After we crossed the border we caught a bus 6hrs south through the desert and past mountains to a town called Chihuahua. We didn't arrive until late so we spent a night in a hotel near the bus station and then caught a cheap taxi into the town centre the following day. Chihuahua is quite a large town but the centre is quite small and easy to wal...
