Photography Tour Overview: Canyons, waterfalls, rivers, wildlife, wildflowers, indigenous Tarahumara Indian tribe, remote villages, missions and the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad. Mexico’s Copper Canyon [Barranca del Cobre]
is actually a series of spectacular canyons and ravines, and the
entire complex is almost four times larger than the Grand Canyon in
the United States, plus it's 280 feet deeper. You’ll also find that
the photography is far more enriching and varied too. As with all of our photography tours, early and late shooting is scheduled for each day.

Our itinerary .
. .
But first things first! We suggest that you set your camera's clock to the local time, as your images will then synchronize with the times in our included photo tour
field notes.
Day 1 | El Paso, Texas
We'll gather in El Paso, and following dinner you’ll have the option of some twilight photography if you’re up to it.
El Paso, 1 night
Day 2 | Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua
We cross the Rio Grande into Mexico this morning, and following some time in Ciudad Juarez on the border, we’ll go directly south via Ahumada, El Sueco and the mining region of El Sauz while pausing for images at every opportunity. On to Chihuahua for the night where among the architectural delights is the pink-stoned baroque cathedral dating to 1826 [construction started in 1724].
Chihuahua, 1 night
Days 3, 4, 5 + 6 | Copper Canyon
We’ll work our way - photographically as usual – towards the Copper Canyon region and arrive on the fringes by early afternoon. We’ll have the remainder of today, plus days 4, 5, 6 and most of day 7 to explore this rugged and spectacular region. We’ll be based in Creel for 4 nights which is central to many highlights which include the canyon-cradled Mayo, Conchos, Oteros, Urique and Cusaráre Rivers: Basaseáchi and Cerocahui Falls: the Cerocahui Jesuit Mission dating from 1681: the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad which took 90 years to build: the indigenous and colorful Tarahumara Indian tribe: Divisadero: Cusaráre: wildlife such as Deer: plus a day-trip to the ‘tropical’ Batopilas which lies in the bottom of a canyon in lush surroundings while the Sierra Madre mountains tower overhead. Our stay in Creel will also include trips to the most spectacular spots for the early light.
Creel, 4 nights
Day 7 | To Chihuahua
We’ll ‘mop-up’ photographically around Copper Canyon and it’s environs during the day as we make our way steadily back to Chihuahua for a one-night stay. Late-light photography is planned at the remnants of Chihuahua’s 1864 colonial aqueduct with it’s 50 foot arches.
Chihuahua, 1 night
Day 8 | To El Paso
One last look at Chihuahua’s highlights this morning prior to going directly north to the United States border. We’ll make more photography stops as we go, but an afternoon highlight will be a short detour for another photo-op at the El Sauzal
petrified forest. The trees there were covered by sand and turned to ‘stone’ via
the action of salt. The included dinner on the last night of our photography tour will feature an 'It's You!' presentation of clients in action on this tour by John.
El Paso, 1 night
Day 9 | Departure day
As there isn't any photography scheduled for the day of departure on this trip, your flight home can be arranged for any time today. Transport to the airport is included unless you’re staying on for a day or more.
