🇲🇽 CREEL, CHIHUAHUA - Is it WORTH IT? | Home of CHEPE Express Train & COPPER Canyons | Mexico Travel

🇲🇽 CREEL, CHIHUAHUA - Welcome to Part 9 of my 2022 Mexico Travel series! We are continuing our journey through the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua! We’ve been to Ciudad Juárez, Parral and Chihuahua City itself, now finally making it to the Pueblo Mágico (magical town) of Creel, the gateway to las Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyons) on the world-famous Chepe Express train (I used ejecutiva or business class), which, with multiple stops, ends up in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. But, is it worth it?

In this video we explore the home of the Rarámuri (Tarahumari), the indigenous people in the Creel area, have some classic comida Mexicana (Mexican food) and visit the Valles de Hongos y Ranas (Valleys of the Mushrooms and Frogs), prehistoric rock formations located on Rarámuri land. Insane!

The Chepe Express is a popular aspect of Mexico tourism. As a result, Creel is a bit ‘touristy’, but that’s part of the territory. In the next video, we board the Chepe Express to see what all the fuss is about!

If you’re thinking about traveling Mexico, being an expat, or moving to Mexico, Chihuahua is another great consideration to get away from the more popular destinations such as Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende and Cancun.
