Hello,
Much has been written about the Copper Canyon excursion from the cruise ships, and while I, as a tour operator, wholeheartedly encourage people to explore the vast Copper Canyon, trying to do so in one long 18-hour day is not the way to do it!
And this is not just my opinion, but rather the majority view of those that have taken this excursion—it is too long, too expensive and too rushed to really enjoy the Copper Canyon.
My company, for example, can arrange multi-day trips to the Copper Canyon that will cost just about the same as the “endurance test” cruise ship excursion, and yet give you the opportunity to really see this area, instead of running thru it!
If you are already booked on an upcoming cruise stopping in Topolobampo, we can offer you a great shore excursion that is a much better option than the Copper Canyon day trip. Our excursion features:
A float trip of exploration down the Fuerte River, home of great birding and enigmatic petroglyphs sure to spark your imagination;
Our exclusive Riverside lunch, featuring traditional Mexican cuisine and beverages served alongside the Fuerte River;
A walking tour of El Fuerte, a lovely colonial town full of history that evokes Old Mexico at every turn, and
Free time for you to explore at your leisure.
We will pick you up at the ship with a professional bilingual guide, take you to El Fuerte for your day of Old Mexico, and return you to the ship by 7pm. All in all a great day of authentic Mexico, far from mass tourism and the rush of trying to see the Copper Canyon in a single day!
