Riding the Rails
One of the most spectacular trips you can take in Mexico, is to see the canyons by train on the Chihuahua al Pacifico. The views will leave lasting memories. Although riding west to east provides the most daylight views, either way you travel, you'll be happy you did. First class cars, food and drinks are available. Train stops in some areas may also offer the chance to buy some local food, crafts or take in a canyon view. For more details, click here.
