Tour 7 Days Superior (Tuesday and Thursday) Chepe Express First Class Train: Chihuahua-Creel-Barrancas-Bahuichivo-El Fuerte-Mochis
Transfer by van to Bahuichivo (30 mins). The highest point of the Copper Canyon. Departure from Bahuichivo towards El Fuerte, a beautiful Magic Town full of history, unique tourist attractions, excellent food and beautiful landscapes. During your stay we recommend visiting the Municipal Palace, the Plaza de Armas and the El Fuerte Museum.
This part of the route is the most beautiful of the Chepe train route in the Copper Canyon. Enjoy the beautiful views of the ravines, tunnels, rivers and bridges from your window and admire the landscape in the comfort of the First Class of the Chepe Express.
El Fuerte was designated a Pueblo Mágico of Mexico in 2009, and it's easy to see why. This charming destination blends the richness of its colonial past with the vibrant indigenous traditions of the Yoremes or Mayos, creating a unique cultural experience that attracts travelers from around the world.
Founded in 1563 by Spanish conquistadors, El Fuerte owes its name to the fortress built in response to ongoing conflicts with the native peoples of the region. That same fortress also gave its name to the river that flows nearby: the Río Fuerte. Today, this history can be felt throughout the town, offering visitors a journey back in time.
Among its main tourist attractions are the Municipal Palace, the Plaza de Armas, and the El Fuerte Museum, where you can learn more about the town's history, legends, and iconic figures. Its well-preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and warm hospitality invite you to explore at your own pace.
El Fuerte is also renowned for the rock art found in the Río Fuerte basin. These ancient expressions, created by the Nahoa indigenous groups, are a testament to the region’s deep-rooted history and attract historians, researchers, and curious travelers with their symbolic and artistic richness.
As the day comes to an end, we recommend finding a high vantage point—like the terrace at Hotel Posada del Hidalgo or the El Fuerte Museum—to watch the sunset. The sky transforms into a canvas of warm colors, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
