Copper Canyon train tours are world-renowned. The Copper Canyon route is considered to be one of the most spectacular railroads in the world. It is unique as the railroad climbs 8000 feet to cross the enormous Sierra Madre Range. During this climb, the passengers witness extreme changes in the scenery around them. The trip begins close to sea level, in semi-tropical conditions, then rises to semi-deciduous forest and still further up, to oak and pine conifer forests in the mountains.

There are many different train options to choose from such as the First Class Chepe train, departing daily from Chihuahua and Los Mochis or the deluxe Sierra Madre Express train. Some train tours arrange first class motor coach transfers between El Paso and Chihuahua. While choosing a train tour, one must keep in mind what the fare includes. Some tours include all meals, all hotel costs, recreational activities, free airport transfers, all ground transportation and excursions while some others may not be so generous and include only basic fare costs.

Since the Copper Canyon train tours run several days and some of the trains offer 5-star hotel comforts, these tours give the visitor a feel of a complete vacation. The tours are complete with warm and professional staff assisting with information and personalized service. Most Copper Canyon train rides are scheduled during the day. This is conducive to excellent sightseeing and photography. One can also select a round-trip train ride so as to be able to see every extraordinary aspect of the Canyon.

All train tours have pre-determined stops at various towns and cities. Most of the tours include hotel bookings and meals at these points. Tour packages vary in prices depending on the number of train tour days and the level of value-added services provided by the touring company.

Most train tours are similar, providing plenty of leisure time, fun events, excellent cuisine and spectacular, panoramic views. A train tour through the canyon is bound to leave the traveler with an everlasting memory of this unique railroad experience.
