This train vacation is on one of the world's great train journeys to Mexico's stunning Copper Canyon. Four times the size of the Grand Canyon, the railway line through the Copper Canyon took ninety years to build and you will soon see why. With 37 bridges and 86 tunnels, including one that makes a 180-degree turn, this railway through this system of canyons is spellbinding. In the Copper Canyon, the Tarahumara Indians live in caves as they have for over five hundred years.
This leisurely holday begins in El Paso with luxury accommodations at the best hotel in town, the historic Hotel El Paso before you travel south to Chihuahua to board the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railway. You have a series of short train trips within the Copper Canyon (the train is the only way to see this area) with no overnights spent on the train. Guests enjoy four full nights in the Canyon at the best available hotels and all (carefully chosen) meals are included.
Complete sightseeing within the Copper Canyon is included each day and you transit the entire railway line over its complete length. Emerging on the Pacific side, you enjoy a two-night luxury hotel stay in Mazatlan in a beachfront hotel before the final segment, a specially arranged four night voyage from Mazatlan back to San Diego aboard the ms Oosterdam of Holland America Line, one of the highest rated ships afloat.
