Tour to Cerro del Gallego and Urique Viewpoint

We start our day with an amazing tour to Cerro del Gallego to admire the Urique Canyon, the highest in the Copper Canyon with an altitude of 2,370 meters above sea level. The Urique Canyon has a visible height of more than 1,879 meters. It is so high that in the lower part there is a tropical climate and in the highest part a cold and wooded climate. In the lower part of the Canyon is the town of Urique, which is a Tarahumara settlement between the Urique canyon and the Urique River. From the Cerro del Gallego you can see the vastness like nowhere else in the Copper Canyon. An experience that will leave you breathless, a scenario that seems to come out of a fantastic story or a painting. You will see the most important natural grandeur of the Copper Canyon and the Sinaloa and Mexican landscape.

En general el viaje estuvo excelente, los hoteles excepto el Santa Anita estuvieron bien, en el hotel mencionado, la atencion fue descortés, las habitaciones huelen a humedad. De El Fuerte a Bahuichivo, el personal que nos transporta del hotel a la estación, tenían tanta prisa que bajaron nuestro equipaje en la entrada de la estación. Y como comentario adicional que sé que no es de su competencia, el tren regional a Chihuahua estuvo retrasado hora y media sin que nadie nos diera información, esto provoco que llegando al hotel ya no encontramos donde cenar,

No me gustó el hotel en Los Mochis. No puede abrir la ventana. El próximo voy quedarme 2 días en cada lugar. Uno día para cada lugares fue no bueno... estuve muy cansada

En todo el trayecto estuvo muy bien, en dos ocasiones solicitamos chocolate en el tren Chepe, y no contaban con
el, en un trayecto solicitamos tacos de camarón y tampoco lo tenían, en el hotel de Chihuahua Encore Ramada
la habitación que se nos dio estaba sin arreglar eso fue como a las 22:30 horas, la otra que se nos asigno muy
sucia en el piso de la regadera (tapada, con mugre, y cabellos) mala experiencia en ese hotel, no lo recomendaría.
en todo lo demás muy bien. Gracias

Estamos gratamente sorprendidos mi esposa y yo de la excelente coordinación de la agencia con los diversos proveedores de servicio para este viaje: el personal de transporte terrestre, los hoteles y guías. La única observación es que en el hermoso parque Aventura del Divisadero no animan ni promueven personalmente los atractivos de las Tirolesas, como si no las hubiera y como en nuestro caso que teníamos el interés de experimentarlo, se nos quitó. Por lo demás todo excelente. Felicidades.

Cecilie Maertens

La mayoria de los hoteles fueron excelentes, pero el hotel Ramada Encore a Chihuahua fue muy feo, lo dijimos al dueño al dia siguiente : tele que no funcionaba, llamamos a la recepción pero nadie contestó; el desayuno feo e Insuficiente, pedimos para un omelette, 40 min después no estaba lista, y cancelamos porque teníamos que partir para un tour. El hotel Misiòn a Cerocahui: bien, pero nuestra habitación en frente del jardín y del gallinero, con la luz encendida toda la noche, y los gallos que cantaban. El tour en los alrededores de Creel: muy feo, tuvimos que pagar además la entrada para ver cuevas de indigenas: solo vimos tiendas de artesania, y no pudimos ver donde cocinan, donde duermen, etc. Y estaba sucio. Es feo de saber que indigenas no tienen en cuenta su propio bienestar. El resto fue muy bueno.
