Chihuahua

Mexico's largest state, where Copper Canyon and the Chihuahua–Pacific Railway make for an iconic journey.

Chihuahua lies in northern Mexico, bordering the United States, and is the country's largest state, with desert plateau in the east and the Sierra Madre Occidental in the west. The biggest draw is the Copper Canyon system, deeper and wider than the Grand Canyon in the United States, which you can cross on the Chihuahua–Pacific Railway (Chepe), using Creel as a base to visit Rarámuri villages, lakes and waterfalls; the Basaseachi Falls are also impressive. The Paquimé archaeological site in the northwest is a World Heritage Site. Spring and autumn are best, and the mountains are cold in winter. The gateways are the airports at Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez.
