 Copper Canyon by Richard Fisher March 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It was just fine - for what it is. The layout is not so great -- has a sort of mish-mash graphic design. The maps are great -- it is written in both English and Spanish -- so a little hard to follow - but all the parts are there in both languages. It's fine for the price - tho' a bit odd.
Good overview January 4, 2007

This is the only book I could find on the canyon. It gives you a good overview of what to expect before you leave home and is a handy reference for when you get back. There are some photos - many of places you will not see unless you have your own independent mode of transportation.

Whether you plan to take a trip to Mexico's Copper Canyon or not, this book is a wonderful journey into that region. It provides both a fascinating look at the Tarahumara Indians as well as travel tips for the adventurous traveler.Padre Luis Verplancken, S.J., the co-author of the books, has lived in the Copper Canyon region for more than 20 years. He provides an intimate portrait of the Tarahumara, both in words and pictures. Through Padre Verplancken, we learn about the Tarahumara people, religion, and social structures. Mr. Fisher has compiled additional information on some of the other interesting places in the region. No trip to the Copper Canyon is complete, for example, without a visit to Batopilas. Or take a trip on the the Chihuahua El Pacifico railroad. So whether you are an armchair traveller or a hearty hiker, this book is a must.
