Copper Canyon
Nobody ever forgets their honeymoon, but why not make yours all the more memorable and romantic by doing something really special. A romantic train journey through the biggest canyon in North America -- the Copper Canyon. Located in the northwestern Mexican States of Chihuahua and Sinaloa, about 250 miles south of Arizona, the rugged beauty of this 900-square-mile region is unparalleled.

By far, the best way to experience the Copper Canyon is by the Chihuahua-Pacifico Railroad which crosses over the Sierra Madre mountain range to the Sea of Cortes. It is one of the most outstanding achievements of railway engineering in the world.

At Batopilas Canyon, newlyweds can experience a turn-of-the-century honeymoon at the restored Victorian-style Copper Canyon Rivers Inn. The former home of a wealthy mining family, this mansion is filled with period antiques, gleaming tile work, finely detailed wall stenciling and lovely gardens. The inn's 15 comfortable rooms feature balconies overlooking the small town.

Not for the Faint of Heart
Keep in mind that travel to this region is not for the faint of heart. Conditions are rustic and climates can change dramatically from very hot to very cold. Also, there is an abundance of reptiles and other wildlife, and in some parts insects.
