BULVERDE, TX—The intrepid traveler bound for Copper Canyon is advised to explore this slice of paradise with trained guides familiar with this isolated part of NW Mexico, like those on the staff of Canyon Travel. The operator has guided tens of thousands of travelers within the Sierra Madre for more than forty years and has an impeccable safety record. (None of his guides or travelers has ever encountered any violence.)
Copper Canyon, supportis one of the few biomes left on the planet. Each tour features authentic encounters with a place and people left mostly untouched by outside influences.
This summer, Canyon Travel is offering low rates for three high adventures now until September 19, 2009. Guests receive $100 dollars off the Uno Lodge Special, a five day trip featuring a stay at the remote eco-lodge perched on a canyon rim with a view of the meandering river one mile below. The nine day Canyon Explorer Itinerary is discounted $200 dollars. And the Western Canyon Explorer adventure is available during some dates for $300 off with up to $400 off per person on other departure dates found on the website.
Years ago, CT Owner Emilio Kifuri created an alliance with local families and remains the only operator in the region in partnership with the indigenous people. This grants his guests access to incredible sites in the canyons known only to locals- like the nesting grounds of rare bird species, or hidden waterfalls tumbling 100 feet or more into crystal pools. Only *CT guests are hosted by indigenous families in their secluded cave homes, where generations of the family have lived for hundreds of years. They are invited to ceremonial dances, learn about traditional farming practices and see artisans at work. These arenÂ’t managed, staged encounters like those delivered by some tour operators. Instead, they unfold naturally as do most meetings between those having a mutual friend.
GuestÂ’s retreat each evening to private lodges, joint tourism projects between Canyon Travel and natives. These eco-lodges take advantage of the canyonÂ’s most breathtaking views. Regional dishes incorporating the freshest ingredients are served on white linens overlooking lush tropical gardens or enjoyed by candlelight on the rim of the canyon steps from comfortable rooms with private baths.
With four decades of experience, and a superior reputation, itÂ’s difficult to find an operator more qualified to introduce travelers to the wonders of Copper Canyon.
