MEXICO’S LAST TRAIN
Chepe, or Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacifico, is Mexico’s last passengers’ railway left. It is a 655 kilometers long section that crosses tremendous canyons and mountains.

Barranca del Cobre, or the Copper Canyon, lays in the north of Mexico, between the states of Chihuahua and Sinaloa. It is just one of the twenty canyons of the rough Sierra Tarahumara, an area populated by the homonymous, native society. They are one of the Maya groups that have better preserved their original culture.
The 1500 meters high cleft, create a huge canyon whose gorges made by 6 rivers are 4 times bigger than USA’s Grand Canyon.
Mexico’s last passengers’ railway skirts it from Los Mochis, close to the Pacific ocean, to the city of Chihuahua. Chepe is a 650 kilometers railway with 39 bridges and 86 tunnels; the journey lasts for 13 hours and the passengers spend them watching the gorges that the train skims go by.
