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.

Nuestro viaje fue muy agradable. Los hoteles Posada de Hidalgo, Hotel Misión Ceracahui, Hotel Mirador, y Quito fueron muy agradables y muy cómodos; nos encantaron. La ubicación del hotel Ramada Encore es fantástica pero hotel necesitas una remodelación urgentemente.

En los hoteles Mirador en Cerocahui y el de Quality inn Chihuahua no funcionaba el aire acondicionado, y con una temperatura de 39 grados no se podía dormir por el calor. Los demás hoteles, excelente. Solo sería el único detalle.

Todo estuvo muy bien planeado! Muy amable toda la gente y los guías!
Creo solo dejan poco tiempo para desayunar y salir de los hoteles saliendo 8-9 ya con las maletas , siendo que las actividades solo son de medio día!
Pero cada lugar que visitamos tiene su encanto y muy agradable todo!!!
Sin duda nos gustaría regresar y visitarse lugares que faltaron !
Muy recomendable

Hola el viaje espectacular hasta el tren regional de divisadero a Chihuahua, preferible es el express aunque sea mayor precio. La coordinacion con la agencia en chihuahua fallo y a pesar que me dieron el servicio deben asegurar que no haya confusiones en fechas puesto dijeron que me esperaban dias antes y nadie tenia mi transporte en Chihuahua. También sugerir que los lunes no es buen dia para hacer tour en Chihuahua

Todo estuvo muy bien, En general el viaje cumplió con las expectativas, todas los traslados fueron a tiempo y la atención en los hoteles muy buenas.
Lo unico que cambiaria es tener más flexibilidad para los horarios de alimentos así como más variedad de los mismos en el Hotel de Divisadero y Cerocahui y en cuanto al intinerario hubo un par de dias con tiempos muertos muy largos, creo que las actividades de Divisadero y Urique pueden hacerse en un dia en vez de dos
