Page 4 of 5 Mexico's Copper CanyonThe Copper Canyon Train The Chihuahua-Pacifico Railway, completed in 1961, after 90 years of construction, is a modern marvel of engineering. The same rails are used by all trains going through the Canyon. With Caravan you travel both the south and the north route in a spacious air-conditioned chartered first class train car. Both of your Copper Canyon train rides are scheduled in the daytime for the best lighting for views and photography. Often the train can be delayed for up to a couple of hours. A roundtrip train ride doubles your chances of viewing the canyon during daylight. Also, by going roundtrip, you can see a different side of the canyon in each direction. Caravan has reserved an entire first class train car. For your comfort, there are always more seats in your car than there are clients. For your health, animals are not permitted in your car. For your safety, the seats in your train car are only available to Caravan clients and are not open to the general public.
