Hotel Divisadero at 8000 feet, perched on the edge of the Copper Canyon.
Our room at the Divisadero Hotel is the center room on the top floor.
The picture on the front door of the Hotel Divisadero is carved in wood and painted.
The fee for a night stay includes 3 meals and a walking tour of the Tarahumara cave homes pictured below. The rooms have much needed heat for this January visit and plenty of hot water.
Put this hotel on your list as a "must stay". It was the highlight of the Copper Canyon Tour.
A Tarahumara home in the side of a mountain at Divisadero. The black in the center of the picture is from decades of cooking fires.
This Tarahumara woman demonstrated basket weaving for us. She uses natural dyes to color the pine needles and long cactus type leaves used for weaving baskets. Bark from the tree produces the black color and the red color is from the madrone berries.
Be sure and ride the Tram in Divisadero for a spectacular view over the canyon and the Tarahumara Indian homesteads.
During the warmer months, they have zip lines, mountain bike trails, backpacking trip, horse packing trips and hiking trips.
All aboard for Los Mochis.
Waiting for El Chepe, our final ride out of the Copper Canyon. The train was scheduled at noon. It showed up at 1pm.
Yes, it is still cold in January in Copper Canyon. But the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
