The only way to get into the Copper Canyon area (there is and never was any copper here) is by a train which runs daily from Los Mochis to Chihuahua – perhaps where the little dogs come from? I’ll have to google it!
We boarded at El Fuerte and bought tickets to Creel, which is roughly halfway but still eight hours.
The views were spectacular and really do keep you amused for all those hours.
Arriving at Creel we were met by many people trying to tax us a few pesos in exchange for showing us to hotels – something we are more than happy to do ourselves. We eventually shook off some particularly persistent kids, who were pretending to guide us to hotels when in fact they were just trying to second guess which way we were going to go - we’re not in the business of giving our money away for nothing! (I´m not being harsh, they weren´t starving)
In Creel we again find ourselves in a place with a lot of warmth, friendliness and character. It’s surely what rural Mexico is all about.
