Trails & Legends with the BACAJIPARE
Copper Canyon is a group of interconnected canyons that form one of the largest, deepest rock formations in the world. It has a unique history characterized by early indigenous cave markings and sacred hidden tombs. At its deepest point, it reaches a depth 1,462 feet lower than the Grand Canyon. The park is 155 miles wide and 372 miles long and encompasses hundreds of man-made trails carved out by the indigenous Tarahumara that settled the canyon centuries ago. In the Bacajipare community, you can participate in guided tours all around the canyon witnessing breathtaking views and learning about its hidden secrets from authentic Tarahumara descendants.
