Tour to Cerro del Gallego and Urique Viewpoint

We start our day with an amazing tour to Cerro del Gallego to admire the Urique Canyon, the highest in the Copper Canyon with an altitude of 2,370 meters above sea level. The Urique Canyon has a visible height of more than 1,879 meters. It is so high that in the lower part there is a tropical climate and in the highest part a cold and wooded climate. In the lower part of the Canyon is the town of Urique, which is a Tarahumara settlement between the Urique canyon and the Urique River. From the Cerro del Gallego you can see the vastness like nowhere else in the Copper Canyon. An experience that will leave you breathless, a scenario that seems to come out of a fantastic story or a painting. You will see the most important natural grandeur of the Copper Canyon and the Sinaloa and Mexican landscape.

El viaje muy recomendable. Creel vale la pena visitar sus alrededores sin quedarse una noche.
En Barrancas del Cobre, es recomendable quedarse dos noches.

Review from:

Alfonso Mier Ojeda

Todo bien, lo MALO fue con la agencia de viajes que tiene una logística deficiente, se tardaron en enviar los pases del tren y cuando los enviaron fue con nombres diferentes, tuve que llamar de nuevo haciendo la aclaración para el cambio de nombres. También muchos correos repetidos y uno solicitando el pago del tour cuando ya estaba pagado, lo que da la impresión de que no hay comunicación interna en sus diferentes departamentos. Por lo que respecta al tour en general fue bueno y puntual
