Palacio del Gobierno

Historic building that dates back to the 18th century that traces the period from the Spanish Conquest to the Revolution.

Reviewed By marcain - Washington DC, United States

Outstanding. You will be welcomed in front of the museum, with help in buying the tickets for admission (50 pesos/person, cheaper for seniors). The person who helps you will offer a tour of the museum, take the offer. The guides are very knowledgeable, and clearly love what they're showing you. I offered a tip at the end of our very helpful tour through the exhibits, which our guide very graciously but definitively declined. So, a donation to the museum. Which is quite wonderful.

Cusarare Falls

Scenic spot for hikers through Copper Canyon that includes dramatic waterfalls, ancient ruins and cave dwellings.

Reviewed By maritimeexplorer - Nova Scotia, Canada

Copper Canyon has some great waterfalls including 870 foot Basaseachi, but most involve a fairly serious hike to get to them. The one exception is Cusarare Falls which while no walk in the park, is quite accessible for most people in decent shape and it's definitely worth getting to. This is not a place you are likely to find on your own, but there are several ways of getting there. First you can stay at the very rustic Sierra Lodge from where there is an easy 3 km. trail which you can do on your own or pay for a guided tour from the lodge. The second way is to take a day tour from the magico pueblo of Creel which will includes the falls and some of the amazing rock formations in the area.. Depending on the type of vehicle you can get to within almost a kilometre of the falls by parking by the pedestrian suspension bridge. This does involve one crossing of the usually shallow river by your vehicle. If the river is too high you will need to walk in from the other side which is about the same distance as the Sierra Lodge trail and the two join up after the bridge. The pine forests of Chihuahua are beautiful and fragrant and a pleasure to walk through. Long before you get to the falls you will come across the Tarahumara indigenous vendors selling their wares. They are not aggressive and will not bother you if you choose not to browse. However, their handmade products are ridiculously cheap and you might want to stop on your way back. Don't be surprised if you get a young child who will tag along with you as I did and probably a dog or two as well. The trail arrives at the top of the falls where there are some very nice spots for photos of the falls which are very impressive in both the length of the drop and the width. The best views are from the bottom, but this involves going down and back up a couple of hundred stairs each way. From what I could tell on my visit most people stayed at the top. My recommendation is to go down and then take it very slowly going back up as you will notice the elevation here. Definitely one of the highlights of the Copper Canyon area and not to be missed.

Valley of the Monks

Reviewed By 458garyy - Toronto, Canada

This is a very interesting place. Fantastic views especially if you take the hike through the woods to the canyon. Our tour operator had a young boy take us to the cliff edge. Not for the faint of heart or those with limited mobility. We felt we had to tip him extra for danger pay :)

Museo Casa Chihuahua

Reviewed By robynh762 - New Orleans, United States

The tour started with downstairs temporary exhibit of a marvelous abstract painter with the most glorious colors. We enjoyed the work so much, we returned a 2nd time. Upstairs are some great pictures of different terrains of Chihuahua state and other types of displays as: Theatrical people from Chih., brief history of Mormons here, sculptures of Anthony Quinn, early and Mata Ortiz pottery just to name a few. The building is beautiful, full of light and has some good look out points. It is a manageable size so does not take too long.
