MEXICO MAGNIFICO

OUR REAL MEXICAN ADVENTURES STARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF NIGHTS IN CHIHUAHUA.THE COPPER CANYON RAILWAY .14 HOURS,655KMS,36 BRIDGES AND 87 TUNNELS OF GOB-SMACKING BEAUTY!!
THE TRAIN IS KNOWN AS EL CHEPE.(THIS HAS NO BEARING ON THE TICKET PRICE).THE TRAIN GOES THROUGH THE FLOOR OF THE CANYON THAT IS DEEPER THAN GRAND CANYON IN PLACES.


SEVERAL INDIGENES LIVE IN THE AREA PLYING THEIR WONDERFUL WARES.







THE CANYON IS ACTUALLY THE D'URIQUE CANYON.COPPER CANYON IS ACTALLY ABOUT 20 KMS AWAY.ONE OF LIFE'S LITTLE MYSTERIES.




WE ACTUALLY LEFT AN HOUR BEFORE THE END AT A MOUNTAIN TOWN CALLED EL FUERTE -HOME OF THE LEGENDARY ZORRO.





A LITTLE LUXURY AT EL FUERTE HOTEL A 350 YEAR OLD RAMBLING MANSION CHOCKER BLOCK WITH ARTEFACTS OF THE INDIGENES,REVOLUTION AND CIVIL WAR!!
