Creel Town
Creel
A logging and railway town at about 2,340 m above sea level, serving as the base camp for exploring Copper Canyon and the Tarahumara mountains.
The town is built around its railway station and central plaza, with two churches beside the plaza. Handicraft shops sell woven baskets, wood carvings, and violins made by the Rarámuri (Tarahumara) people. A statue of Christ the King on a small hill to the west overlooks the whole town. Hotels and travel agencies cluster along the main street, where you can book day trips, rent cars, bicycles, or horses.
