There are two perfect moments a year to visit Guachochi and take trips nearby, in spring and autumn when the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. Also in July, if you want to be there for the ultramarathon and experience the amazement of witnessing the Rarámuri people run.
❖ Barranca de Sinforosa
This spectacular ravine is over 6,000-foot at its deepest part, from the viewpoint of Cumbres de Guerachi, and at the bottom of it flows the Río Verde, the most important tributary of the Río Fuerte. It’s narrow but incredibly deep, which makes it stand out amongst the world’s ravines. One of the most beautiful routes is through Cumbres de Sinforosa peaks, where a trail snakes between magnificent sheer rock faces. Along the way you will pass the incredible Rosalinda waterfalls; with its 260-foot drop it’s one of the region’s most beautiful.
❖ Cañón del Jaguar
Impressive peaks and cliffs with deep ravines, all surrounded by incredible contrasts and views that will captivate all visitors.
