Visiting the Barrancas is worth the effort and the train is superb. However, no need to spend too long in the towns of El Fuerte and Creel (one day is more than sufficient). The views are incredible but don´t expect luxury resorts along the way.

Bastantes sorpresas, los alimentos como dije, sin opciones, escasos y al ver las cuentas muy caros, no los valen.
El viaje a las colonias menonitas decepcionante, solo vimos menonitas en el restaurante desayunando, y los campos de manzanas bien gracias, ni paramos, nada recomendable, a las cascadas no fuimos porque no había llovido y estaban secas, cuando escuchamos que otros fueron y que estaban muy padres.
Las barrancas, teleférico, los monjes, espectaculares.
El Tren, aunque solo estuvimos abordo dos horas el primer día y cuatro el segundo, es bastante interesante, bien servicio, ahí si, opciones de alimentos, en bastante buen estado vagones y vías.
En general un viaje que cumplió con las expectativas de mi esposa y yo, en el sentido de estar tranquilos por unos días.
Insisto, los alimentos nada adecuados.
En Chihuahua por ejemplo el área del desayuno eran solo 6mesas fuera del restaurante, solo había cereal, leche y totopos para preparar chilaquiles, nada más. Si pedías algo extra obvio con cargo. Decidimos pagar el bufete, $240.00 por persona, obviamente con otras opciones adicionales pero nos ofrecen un jugo de naranja, que no estaba incluido en el costo del bufete, nos dio pena ajena. Los demás hoteles bastante adecuados, entendiendo que son de lo mejor disponible.
Bastantes puntuales, eso indiscutible y atentos, como debería haber sido.
Muchas otras cosas que necesitaría mucho espacio más.
Saludos

excelente atención antes y durante el viaje de Tere Román, los traslados desde el aeropuerto y a los hoteles muy buenos, los tours y calidad de los hoteles de lujo. Sólo el primer día en Chihuahua queda uno como abandonado. Preguntamos en el hotel por tours por nuestra cuenta,, ya que todo el día es libre.
