Mexico Copper Canyon Mexico's Copper Canyon is a unique natural treasure located about 400 miles from El Paso. The typical way to see the canyon is on the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad, but there is a more adventurous way to go. Here is a description of a driving trip from El Paso to the Copper Canyon.
Travel agents can also arrange bus and train tickets and hotel accomodations for the trip.
Pack as you would for a trip in the U.S. with a few additions. Most hotels we stayed in had bottled water available, but this still leaves plenty of places where, to be safe, it's best to bring your own. I recommend 1-2 gallons per person per week. Also, bringing stomach medicine such as Pepto Bismol is a good precautionary measure. You'll see a lot fewer stations than you would in the U.S. because of the government monopoly.
