Creel is the gateway to the Copper Canyon, named after the copper extracted from the numerous mines spread across 60,000 square kilometers. Here you'll find the impressive Urique Canyon, nearly two kilometers deep, considered the deepest in Mexico.
Recommendations for enjoying Urique Canyon:
For a panoramic view of almost 360 degrees of the canyon, visit the Cerro del Gallego viewpoint, located at 2,400 meters above sea level. From here, you can admire spectacular views of the canyons, surrounded by pine and oak trees contrasting with the abyss. In the distance, you can see the town of Urique along the river winding through the canyon depths.
In this area, you can enjoy meals at palapas and grills available. Adventurers can take a hike across the hanging bridge spanning the canyon, offering unique opportunities for photographs from the highest point of the viewpoint.
Finally, explore the Copper Canyon through its various hiking or horseback riding routes. If you're seeking thrills, dare to ride one of the rapid zip lines and literally fly over one of the most stunning landscapes you'll ever see.
