See the natural giant of Copper Canyon

One of the most famous destinations in Chihuahua is the Copper Canyon, or ‘Barrancas del Cobre’. This series of vast canyons encompasses an area even larger than the Grand Canyon in the United States. Visitors can explore the region through hiking trails, enjoy scenic views from observation points, or take advantage of park facilities. One of the park’s highlights is the cable car ride, which spans a significant distance and gives you a bird’s-eye view of the canyon. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the zip lines, mountain biking trails, and rock-climbing areas here.

Discover the region’s food

Chihuahua’s culinary offerings are rooted in tradition and local flavours. Blue corn tortillas and hearty stews, such as asado de puerco, are common. The quality of beef in the region also makes it a standout destination for lovers of grilled meat dishes. Additionally, Chihuahua is known for sotol, a spirit distilled from the Dasylirion plant, which provides a unique drink option that pairs well with local meals. Juarez City, a major urban hub, adds to the food scene with its claim as the birthplace of the margarita cocktail and the burrito. The city offers a mix of casual restaurants and higher-end dining, showcasing the influence of local and international culinary trends.

A walk through these neighbourhoods provides a clear sense of the region’s evolution over centuries. Juarez City, directly bordering the United States, is an industrial hub with historical ties to major cultural and political events. Its museums and sites related to the Mexican Revolution are must-visits for history enthusiasts, while its proximity to the border allows for unique cultural exchanges.
