Barrancas del Cobre, in some areas deeper and larger than the Grand Canyon and dwelling place for the Rarámuri ("Tarahumara") people.

The most colorful way of going to the Copper Canyon is using the "ChePe" train, riding one way between Los Mochis, Sinaloa and Chihuahua city, Chihuahua, with a stop someplace like Creel or Divisadero. Creel, nearly at 8,000 feet, may not be getting a commercial flight for some time.
