About this trip

The Copper Canyon region - larger, and four of the canyons in it are deeper than the Grand Canyon in Arizona has been inhabited by the indigenous Tarahumara, "the running people", for over 500 years. They are extraordinary endurance athletes, and routinely run 200-250 miles in one session, barefoot, or in their deerskin sandals.

We could spend weeks exploring this vast area, it is so mesmerizing, but we can get a very good idea of it on this adventure, concentrating, as usual on Nature, and developing community - a perfect place to do so!

This is not a tourist trip, rather it is seeing those sites most tourists do, and experiencing the famous El Chepe train, and also diving deep into two of the canyons to spend time with the people who live there. We will be helping out with one of the ultra marathons held by the world's best long distance runners, the Tarahumara. More information: https://www.timelessjourneys.net/the-copper-canyon.html
