Mexico's Western Sierra Madre

"The best of the bunch is Canyon Travel. Canyon Travel is pretty much in a class by itself. It has lined up some beautiful small lodges in the canyons and in EL Fuerte and staffed them with talented local guides. Canyon also offers a lot of flexibility, and it takes responsibility for the people it sends into the Sierra."

FROMMER'S MEXICO 2002 - 2005

"continually receives the best reports and has the most flexible itineraries"

"Canyon Travel formed a partnership with the Copper Canyon's Tarahumara Indians in which the firm will train them as naturalist guides and help the Tarahumara operate the pair of lodges the indigenous community owns. The lodges are a part of an initiative to develop community-owned tourism facilities as an alternative to logging the pine forests."
