You can visit the canyon via the ‘Chepe’ railway (Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacifico) which meanders over 656 km (407 miles) between Los Mochis and Chihuhua. However, the canyons offer a wide array of natural sights and adventures with nearby towns offering tours and even attractions, such as the Pargue de Aventura Barrancas del Cobre’s zip-lines.
