Explore the Batopilas Canyon from Samachique to Batopilas, passing through undisturbed parts of the Copper Canyon with the chance to see great wildlife, changing flora as we hike from the sierra to the barrancas, scenery and amazing views, ancient burial sites and camping at Tarahumara ranches where the few people who live here have a basic and primitive lifestyle without any modern technology. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
