Pueblos Mágicos

Located just 500 meters above sea level, this historic town thrived at the bottom of the canyon of the same name. Its fame is attributed to the rich silver deposits that attracted miners from Spain in the early 17th century and investors from France, England, and the United States in the late 18th century. Some of its mansions have been transformed into boutique hotels. The Jesuits built a beautiful mission downstream. The road descending 1,500 meters over 15 kilometers will take you through landscapes offering stunning views, transitioning from mountain to tropical climates.

Since its founding in 1907, Creel has been the gateway to the Sierra Tarahumara. Its strategic location has made it a hub for the Copper Canyon region. Stroll around Lake Arareko and explore the valleys with their unique rock formations. Don't miss the Mission town of Cusárare and its museum, as well as the Basaseachic Falls National Park, home to Mexico's highest waterfall with a 265-meter free fall.

This region is abundant in water, creating stunning lakes and waterfalls that enhance the high mountain landscape's beauty. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Sinforosa and Wuérachi Canyons. Guachochi, with the highest concentration of Rarámuri ranches, is renowned as the birthplace of the most resilient Rarámuri runners.

Casas Grandes, a Magic Town, is akin to Rome in that it encompasses a World Heritage city. This is no exaggeration—by the 600s AD, the city of Paquimé was already under construction. A passing conquistador in 1566 remarked that it “seemed to have been designed by Romans,” likely due to its impressive hydraulic systems and the high quality of life it offered its residents.

This small city, with its rich mining heritage, was once the capital of New Vizcaya due to its substantial contributions to the Spanish Crown’s treasury. Its immense wealth earned it the title of "Capital of the Silver World," as one of its mines produced high-quality minerals for over 300 years. It has also been the birthplace of renowned artists, writers, politicians, economists, and scholars.
