About Copper Canyon
The system of canyons here is larger and deeper than theGrand Canyonin the neighboringUnited States, although the Grand Canyon is larger overall than any of the individual canyons of the Copper Canyon system. Though the area would be Mexico's star national park, it thus far has not been designated as a park as efforts to make it so have been hampered by disagreements between loggers and the native Raramuri. This area is rich in biodiversity, cultural history, and is the site of a growing tourist infrastructure. The town ofCreelis probably the most popular gateway to the canyonlands. But the town of Hidalgo de Parall to the south ofChihuahua Cityis a good alternative and is useful for exploring the largely overlookedSinforosa Canyon. Within the canyons lie the towns ofBatopilasand Urique.
