The Copper Canyon is a vast and rugged region located in the SW corner of Chihuahua, Mexico, 350 miles from El Paso, Texas. It is the traditional homeland of the Tarahumara Indians who call themselves Raramuri--the foot runners. Cutting deep into volcanic rhyolites and andesites are 4 great barrancas more than a mile deep which represent North America's largest canyon system. Within this environment live 60,000 Tarahumara who live on isolated ranchos in extended family groups, subsisting on corn, beans and squash and raising goats.
Hike with burros from Batopilas to Urique

The pioneering work of Juan Quezada has transformed Mata Ortiz to an internationally famous pottery village. Many families are producing wares of highest caliber with locally occuring clays and minerals. We will spend time with potters, visit the World Heritage Site, Casas Grandes, and travel to a remote Tarahumara pottery village where pottery making is still tied to subsistence needs.
