A SHORT--BUT GOOD--STINT ON EL CHEPE
... chiming in that woman were more sadistic, to hilarious laughter, the Dorky Duo blushing. Walked up for the faciliies, quick diary and down with the daysack for 0900 departure.
Carlos asked Peter if he was coming along, I mockingly said '****!', our guide expressing more of an 'aw, why you say that?' than a guffaw. At the Parque de Aventura Barrancas del Cobre at 0911. The non-cable car going people aka pansies are the Fogey Men and Dipstick Denise 250 MP. There was ...
An Incredible View from an Incredibly BUMBPY Ride
... of places so we gave up trying :-)
We drove through Cerocahui and Annie pointed out a few places and things she had read about including the very fancy hotel called The Mission, built in an old mission.
Then, there it was, the rock formation that looks like Yogi Bear and what Hotel Paraiso del Oso (which means Paradise of the Bear) is named after. We checked in, Annie had mentioned my vision and we were really impressed to see we had the room furnished for disabled ...
The End of the Road at the Bottom of Copper Canyon

It didnīt start out all that bad and most of the path was fairly clear but once we got about 3,000 feet up the path got incredibly steep and rocky, like a 45 degree creek bed. The way back down was barely fit for a goat.
The monkey feet got me most of the way and were actually great until it got ...
Breathtaking scenery
... miles. Once again the hotel was very quiet - perhaps twenty guests in all. Apparently a combination of the recession, Mexican flu and the American paranoia of terrorism has caused an 80% reduction in tourism for Mexico - it must be a crippling blow, but selfishly, for us, it makes our journey easier and far more enjoyable. It was good to meet some some fellow travellers this time and we chatted on the hotel verandah overlooking the canyon for an hour or ...
