Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre) is one of North America's most spectacular sights. Nine major canyons — all deeper than the U.S.'s Grand Canyon — form a labyrinth through Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range.

From sea-level to mountain top, the region is traversed by the equally spectacular "Chepe" railroad, providing visitors with "the most dramatic train ride in the western hemisphere" (Reader's Digest).

Home of the famed Tarahumara (Rarámuri) runners, refuge of revolutionary Pancho Villa, and birthplace of the legendary Zorro, this is Copper Canyon — The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
