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.

A Dinner to End an Unforgettable Day

After a day filled with adventure and memorable moments, nothing compares to sharing dinner with your loved ones at Hotel Mirador. It’s the perfect time to relive the day’s experiences, exchange smiles, and toast to the journey, while the vast Copper Canyon unfolds before you as a breathtaking backdrop.

Seated beside one of the most stunning views in the world, surrounded by the peacefulness of the mountains, the sky begins to fill with stars and the moon rises quietly over the canyon. The air turns cool and still… and with a bit of luck, you might hear the distant howl of wolves or other wildlife that inhabit the region—a gentle reminder of how alive and magical nature is in this corner of the world.

At Hotel Mirador, each evening is a chance to reconnect with what truly matters: good company, natural beauty, and the present moment. At Hoteleus, we are proud to be part of these experiences that stay with you for a lifetime.

Summary

Travel to the only passenger train in Mexico: El Tren Chepe!

This trip includes the route of the Copper Canyon from Sinaloa in Los Mochis and ending in Chihuahua, Chihuahua. Find the best flights and purchase options with this route!

This route has different advantages: you will start with the heat of the coast in Sinaloa (you can request an extension and get to know the wonderful Maviri beach and the port of Topolobampo), then the Magical Town of El Fuerte awaits you with a unique tour of the indigenous communities (which you can exchange for a raft ride on the El Fuerte river). We finish with a walk through El Fuerte, where you will know all the historical points of this town.

The train sounds coming! It is time to get on the Chepe Express Train in the direction of Bahuichivo. From here we will go to Cerocahui with the second highest vineyard in Mexico and a walk to one of the highest points of the Copper Canyon: El Cerro del Gallego (Prepare your camera, it is one of the most important points for which happen!)

Then we will go to one of the most beautiful points: The mythical Hotel Mirador. This hotel is stranded in the Copper Canyon. From the terrace, the dining room or your room you will have a unique view from the moment you arrive at your accommodation until you leave. We recommend waking up early to see the sunrise, a unique experience worthy of the best photography: on one side you will see the sun rise while the other end of the ravine is in darkness. Pay attention, you will hear nature speak.

After an exquisite breakfast we will go to Parque Aventura, where you can launch yourself on the Zip Rider, a series of 7 zip-line stations, the cable car or the aerial forest. You can also waitThen we will visit another Magical Town: Creel. Have your shopping ready! Take a lunch box because we will buy delicious cheeses. We suggest you try the delicious pizza from Hotel The Lodge (not included) with a good pint from the hotel's factory.

We will finish this trip going to Chihuahua. Not before going to the Mennonite communities where we will see the dairy production processes. More cheeses, compotes and jams ready to go!

Realmente lo disfrutamos, quizá en otra ocasión realizaría el viaje en sentido contrario y tomaría dos días para detenerme en Creel y dos días en Divisadero. Podría omitir la parada en Bahuichivo, para tomar la ruta más larga del tren Chepe y aprovechar las 8hrs de parada a parada

It has all the tours, such as a city tour in Creel, Parque Aventura, where the zip line and the cable car are. In Bahuichivo I put the route to the Gallego Hill and the Urique oriel. You are really going to have fun and enjoy this long ecotourism trip in Mexico!
