Please note:
- This tour was designed to introduce you to the remote, yet stunning beauty of northern Mexico. You will discover breathtaking vistas and meet the fascinating descendants of the area's ancient cultures. Knowing what to expect will assist you in preparing for this tour and will ultimately make this a more enjoyable vacation.
- It is important to realize that the Copper Canyon is still remote and rustic. Some of the accommodation and services on this tour are basic by American standards. Meal choices may not be as extensive as on other Trafalgar Tours and hotel facilities may be limited. The tour reaches an elevation of 8,000 feet and requires walking on uneven surfaces and climbing some stairs.
- This tour is best enjoyed by the experienced traveler in reasonably good health who can take it in good humor if not all of the 'comforts of home' are readily available. Sometimes, the train schedule and other parts of the itinerary may be subject to delays or variation due to circumstances beyond your hosts' control.
