Ok, so Mexico Trip is like 5% more real at this point. I’ve actually engaged the services of a petsitter, which is step one! I’m almost ready to consider booking places. I wasn’t sure if holiday travel would trump the off-season, but as far as I can tell, it’s probably going to be mostly off-season. So I’m not super stressed there. I still need to find the title for my car. And registration papers.
The US State Department does not currently have a travel warning for mexico (there are 30 countries currently on the list) but they do of course advise caution. The travel.state page of travel tips/info for Mexico.
I have decided against crossing at El Paso/Juarez due to safety concerns. Also, when given the option I prefer smaller to bigger - so in that light, I’m going to head to Columbus, NM, which should be able to accommodate all the paperwork that I need. And I think perhaps returning via Antelope Wells (Adventuresome! Historic! !), if the stars align and I can find roads that lead there. This would present an opportunity to explore Paquime as well! Rancheria photos. I’m possibly also interested in checking out Cuarenta Casas while in the copper canyon area?
So basically I want to explore around Central North Mexico. Towns of Copper canyon/people’s guide.
Advice and tips from the lonely planet mexico forum. People mention Bauichivo as a city that might be good to start hikes from. The Tarahumara people even have a website. Bootsnall search results for copper canyon. Mexonline copper canyon page. If visiting the small town of Urique, here is a cute place to stay, Entre Amigos. Also near Urique, along the rim of copper canyon, the Uno Lodge looks beautiful. Driving to Urique might be problematic.
Neat hotels in creel. If I do make it to the beach, Hotel Playa de Cortes?
