The tickets must be issued with scheduled arrival times before 09:00 AM

Transfer from Chihuahua to Creel with a visit to the Mennonite Museum - QM*

During the journey, we will enjoy a unique cultural experience by visiting a Mennonite museum. There, you will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about their customs, lifestyle, and history—discovering one of the most fascinating and reserved communities in the country.

Note:
On Sundays and public holidays, due to the religious traditions and customs of the Mennonite community, places such as the Mennonite Museum and other sites are usually closed. For this reason, on those days we offer an alternative tour that includes a panoramic visit to the region's apple orchards and a culinary experience at an authentic Mennonite artisanal pizzeria. It’s a wonderful way to continue enjoying the cultural and culinary richness of the area.

Notice regarding space for children:
We understand how important it is to travel comfortably. If you are traveling with children taller than one meter, we kindly ask you to inform us in advance. This will allow us to allocate the appropriate space on the transportation unit. Otherwise, we may need to make last-minute adjustments and charge an additional fee for the extra seat required, to ensure everyone's comfort during the trip.

I have had the opportunity to travel to many countries around the world. Copper Canyon was amazing. A trip of a lifetime!
