Flat Rate for up to 4 people: $149USD ($2,980 MXN)

Per person rate for 5 people or more: $37.25USD ($745 MXN)

We charge in pesos, but have an approximate USD rate shown for convenience, however, that may fluctuate based on rate at time of charge. 

Visit the Valley of the Mushrooms, Frogs & Monks, San Ignacio Mission, Lake Arareko and Cusarare Waterfall. This 6 hour private Copper Canyon tour of the Creel and Cusarare vicinity is ideal for those who are short of time, but still want a great half day tour in the Sierra Madre.

We highly recommend you choose one of the full day tours instead if you have the entire day and are sleeping again in Creel at the end of the day. This will allow you to maximize your time best so you can see and do more with your full day. The Copper Canyon tour includes everything on this Combo Tour, but also drives you through 3 canyons. The 4 Canyons & More tour is all about canyons so it shows you the Cusarare area plus 4 different canyons, including Batopilas Canyon. The Basaseachi Falls tour is in Candamena Canyon and allows for several hours of hiking. 

If you are looking for a complete and private TRIP package with all hotels, tours, transfers, train tickets and of course best logistics, then please visit our sister company Amigo Trails.

  1. 9:00am Pickup from hotel

    Please be ready and waiting in the reception area of your hotel for your guide. He will be there to meet you a few minutes before your scheduled pickup time.

  2. 9:15am - 10:45am Valley's Area Visit

    We’ll start off today with a visit to the Valley of the Mushrooms, and the Valley of the Frogs and Monks in the nearby Raramuri Indian Ejido on this half day Copper Canyon tour.

    Look out for Raramuri Indians walking along dirt roads in the valley, herding goats, or washing their clothes in nearby streams, which they then hang out to dry in ribbons of bright colors on neighborhood fences.

    Pause at the San Ignacio Mission, in the middle of the San Ignacio Ejido, and continue to the Valley of the Monks to look at the large rock formations that resemble monks wearing hoods. This area is actually the fertility valley for the Sisoguichi Ejido and their name for it is ‘Bisibirachi’.

  3. 11:00am Lake Arareko

    Then it is on to Lake Arareko, approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) outside of Creel. Taking its name from the Raramuri word for “horseshoe,” the beautiful man-made lake was originally a reservoir. Today, it is mainly used for fishing by the locals and camping on the weekends. It is also an excellent spot for a picnic. Spend a few pesos on some souvenirs of the Raramuri Indians, who gather around the lake to sell their hand-made crafts.

  4. 12:00pm - 1:30pm Stop For Lunch

    If you’ve included the Perfect Picnic, or one of the box lunches today as an Add-On during your tour, your guide will stop to set up your lunch for you at a nice overlook, or perhaps near a river or stream. Enjoy an immersive experience as you dine in the outdoors in Amigo Style.

  5. 2:00pm - 3:00pm Cusarare Waterfall

    End your private tour at the 100-foot-high (30 meter) Cusarare Waterfall on the Cusarare Raramuri Ejido. Enjoy the lovely overlooks, and walk down the man-made steps to enjoy a cool dip in the pools at the bottom. If you like to walk, your guide can arrange to allow you to walk along a trail through the woods  to get to the waterfall, rather than using the nearby parking lot. Just let him know you enjoy walking and he’ll allow you to take advantage of that as much as possible on this tour.

  6. 3:30pm Drop Off At Hotel

    You’ll be dropped back at your hotel after a full day of canyon touring. Be sure to ask your guide about restaurant recommendations, and be sure to check out our Face Book page in the next week or so as we’ll be posting your day tours photos for you and your friends and family to enjoy!

It is always ideal to wear layers as it starts out cool in the mornings, but gets a bit hotter during the day. If you are traveling during the rainy season (July through Sept.) be sure to bring rain gear. Some walking is required on this tour so be sure you have footwear with good traction.

Your guide will try to give you some time to do a bit of hiking in the Cusarare Waterfall area, if time permits. If you are looking for a full day tour that includes ample hiking, we recommend you choose the Basaseachi Falls tour instead.

No, because you will be outside of town, you will not find anywhere to purchase food. Be sure to include one of our picnic Add-Ons for your own convenience, or bring along something to eat on your own if you prefer it.

However, please note that our picnic Add-Ons have all been specifically designed to fill you up and add a special touch to your tour that will make it more memorable so we always recommend you include one of them for your own best experience and comfort.
