  1. 9:00am Pickup from hotel

    Please be ready and waiting in the reception area of your hotel for your guide. He will be there to meet you a few minutes before your scheduled pickup time.

  2. 9:15 - 10:30am Drive Through 3 Canyons

    We’ll start your Copper Canyon tour day by driving through Basihuare, and Humira canyons, and then onto the very bottom of the Copper Canyon, pausing at overlooks and for photographs as we go along. We’ll be descending from over 7,500 feet, passing through pine forest into deciduous forest and finally coming to rest for a nice view of Urique River at the bottom of the Copper Canyon. It will get warmer as we descend so do wear layers for best comfort.

  3. 10:30am - 12:30pm Cusarare Waterfall

    Returning via the same road, we enjoy a different view of the canyons.  Then, leaving canyon country behind, we’ll enter back into the upper sierra of pine forest and stop off for a visit to Cusarare Waterfall. You’ll walk down an uneven trail, with man-made steps to get to the waterfall where lovely views await you of this 100 foot drop falls. Rainy season (July through Sept.) shows the best of the falls, but there is always some water year around and the forest is lovely to walk through anytime of the year.

  4. 12:30pm - 1:00pm Lake Arareko

    Returning towards Creel, you’ll stop off at the front of Lake Arareko to admire it from this side and take a few photos. Then you’ll be driven around to the backside of it to a secluded spot for lunch.

  5. 1:00pm - 2:30pm Stop For Lunch

    If you’ve included the Perfect Picnic, or one of the box lunches today as an Add-On during your tour, your guide will stop to set up your lunch for you at a nice overlook, or perhaps near a river or stream. Enjoy an immersive experience as you dine in the outdoors in Amigo Style.

  6. 2:30pm - 4:45pm Creel Valley's Area

    Enjoy a visit to the San Ignacio Valley, as you drive through the forest and onto the plains to make a stop at the Valley of the Monks where you can do a bit of hiking. Afterwards, you’ll be driven across the rolling countryside to see the Valley’s of the Mushrooms, and Frogs and of course San Ignacio Mission.

  7. 5:00pm Drop Off At Your Hotel

    You’ll be dropped back at your hotel after a full day of canyon touring. Be sure to ask your guide about restaurant recommendations, and enjoy the rest of your visit.

We will be passing through several different climate zones today on the tour, so it is ideal to wear layers so you will be most comfortable in all the different zones. If you are visiting during the rainy season; July through September, please be sure to bring rain gear.

This tour is mainly about seeing as many canyons in one day as possible so there will not be a lot of time for hiking. Your guide will try to give you some time to do a bit of hiking in the Cusarare Waterfall area, if time permits. If you are looking for a full day tour that includes ample hiking, we recommend you choose the Basaseachi Falls tour instead.

No, because you will be in the remote canyon regions, you will not find anywhere to purchase food. Be sure to include one of our picnic Add-Ons for your own convenience, or bring along something to eat on your own if you prefer it.

However, please note that our picnic Add-Ons have all been specifically designed to fill you up and add a special touch to your tour that will make it more memorable.
