With Bartek visitting us in Mexico we drove overnight to Chihuahua (turnes out to be quite an exhausting trip from Monterrey) to catch the famous Chihuahua-Pacifico train - ChePe. The train crosses almost 700km via Copper Canyon mountain area from the desertly north-central Mexico to the Pacific Coast at the Gulf of California. Some of the views are breathtaking - the Canyon is supposedly larger and deeper than the American Grand Canyon and along the route there are various sites inhabbited by the indigenious people which makes a trip very interesting from a cultural point of view.
