 – Short Description: Batopilas — a former Mexican silver capital hidden at the bottom of a 2,000m-deep canyon. Colonial-era stone buildings, swaying palms, warm winters while Creel has snow. Fascinating contrast: arrive at 2,350m, descend to 400m in one day. Rarámuri (Tarahumara) communities in surrounding canyons. Historical haciendas. Outstanding birding (subtropical species + highland species in same day trip).
