Carl's Copper Canyon Notebook

Mexico's Copper Canyon is much more than just one canyon. The vast northwestern Sierra Madre and Sierra Tarahumara include at least 15 major canyons, the homeland of tens of thousands of Tarahumara (Raramuri) Indians, traditional Mexican ranchers, and prospectors. Just a day's travel south of the U.S. border, the Copper Canyon is still remarkably untouched by progress. This is one of America's most exciting, yet least-known regions for hiking, camping, and do-it-yourself adventure.
Ciudad JuarezWednesday, April 3, 2002 Bus & Cab ConnectionsA first class or luxury bus trip from Ciudad Juarez to Chihuahua City takes about 4.5 hours, including a 45 minute rest stop: The cost is 200p. After arriving in Juarez, I took a cab from the bus terminal to the U.S. border. The trip took 25 minutes, and cost 70p. Once I reached the international bridge, it took me 30 minutes to walk across the border and pass through U.S. Customs. It is not a short walk, so if you're loaded down with luggage and the weather is bad, a cross-border bus would be best. You'll have to wait longer to cross, but you'll be much more comfortable. Omnibus de Mexico has a cross-border bus into El Paso every hour. Tickets are sold in the Juarez bus station at Window 17, for 50p. Up:Travel Reports, Tips, Reviews, etc.
