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.
The U.S. Border: Returning NorthWednesday, April 3, 2002 As you approach the U.S. border you'll see money changers wearing bright orange vests with the exchange rate posted on their chests in very visible numbers: compra 9:18; venta: 9:36. If you're carrying extra Mexican pesos, this is a good opportunity to exchange them for dollars. ============================================ Up:Travel Reports, Tips, Reviews, etc.
