to Creel
Your "Train Ride in the Sky" trip begins as you board the first class and
comfortable "ChePe" at 6:00 am bound for Creel. Upon arriving, you will be
transferred to the Pueblo Viejo Hotel or Best Western (surcharge applies). Later, you will
enjoy a tour of the town, and visit majestic places like the Arareko Lake, Mushrooms
Valley, The Missions, Tarahumara's Caves, and other interesting sites.
 Creel to El
Fuerte
The true adventure begins today, as you reboard the ChePe Train for your unforgettable
trip to El Fuerte. In doing so, climbing to an elevation of more than 8,000 feet before
descending to sea level. This line took 111 years to complete due to the rugged terrain of
the Sierra Madre Range and financial problems. More than 200 trestles/bridges and 87
tunnels were required to complete the task.
Upon arriving in El Fuerte, you are transferred to the fabulous Posada del Hidalgo
Hotel, which was once a mansion. We recommend eating onboard the train before arriving, as
the dinning room at the hotel tends to close early.
 El Fuerte to
Divisadero
Today you get to do it all over again on your return trip to Divisadero, this time
climbing from sea level to an elevation of more than seven thousand feet. Spectacular
rivers, canyons, mountains, and towering cliffs abound in all directions. Upon arriving
Divisadero, you will be transferred to either the Mansion Tarahumara (valley views, no
meals) or the famous Posada Mirador Hotel which offers dramatic views of three canyons
from your room. We highly recommend upgrading to the Posada Mirador Hotel, if it is
available (it often books up EARLY). Dinner
 Divisadero
