Copper Canyon train trip

[suzysidesaddle]

Has anyone taken it? How expensive is it? Is it worth all the time and money?

 

Thanks

You might get a reply if you go to the specific cruiseline board or better the ports of call boards. Heard the Copper Canyon is wonderful! Even more impressive than the Grand Canyon...could it be?

Loved it...but then, we purposely take train trips. Many hours in a not deluxe train car, opportunites to buy native crafts, surprisingly nice lunch, great scenery and amazing rail bridges and twists and turns (a near 360). But if you don't love trains...it's a long boring trip with "primative" bathrooms, a SUV vehicle running behind the train with soldiers and machine guns (protection), a nice lunch and "only" native crafts for sale and a short time at the canyon.

Worth it? for me, yes. Would I go again? no, not without an overnight stay.
