From Divisadero you'll have spectacular views into the canyon. Tarahumara Indians live all through the area. Women and children can be found at the train station fixing gorditas and burritos on steel drum stoves and selling handicrafts at the station and the hotels. In the canyon are a maze of footpaths that can best be seen with a good pair of binoculars. You'll also notice clearings with small houses and sometimes barns and fenced pastures throughout the canyon.
Night brings a spectacular show.
On clear evenings the number of stars that can be seen is simply amazing. Plus, if you closely study the walls of the canyon you see lights from distant Indian campfires. The lights will slowly fade away, then sudddenly become brighter presumably when another log gets thrown on the fire. We were told by a guide that these fires mark the camps of the more primitive Indians who avoid contact with civilization. This is the only hotel located actually on the rim of the canyon.
