Estación Catorce
A former railway station village in the desert below the mountain, reached by a Willys jeep bumping down a cliffside dirt road.
Estación Catorce sits on the desert plain at the foot of the mountain. It was once a railway station used to transport silver. Four-wheel-drive Willys jeeps take about an hour to descend the steep dirt road from town. The cliffs and canyons along the way are spectacular, making it the town's most popular experience. The station village preserves the old station building and rail tracks. Nearby you can visit abandoned haciendas in the desert and filming locations for films such as 'The Mexican'. Jeeps leave from a meeting point in town, and fares are charged per vehicle or per person. Those prone to motion sickness should take precautions.
