Every day since 1961, El Chepe (as this unique train is familiarly called), ventures into the imposing landscapes of the sierra Tarahumara, until it reaches the area that encircles the most representative characteristics of the Tarahumara culture, history and folklore: the Barrancas del Cobre or Copper Canyon, as this region is known worldwide.

Four times bigger than the Colorado Canyon, this magnificent Mexican landscape serves as the backdrop of one of the most spectacular journeys in the world. With 408 miles of railroad tracks, 86 tunnels and 37 bridges, this route is regarded as one of the most important in the world and one of the master pieces of Mexican Engineering.

In order to provide our passengers with a worldwide class service, Ferrocarril Mexicano, owner of the CHEPE train, initiated on 1998 the rehabilitation of his Express and Economic Class fleet. The most modern and comfortable passenger train in Mexico will afford you the most memorable ecoturism experience in the country.
