Day 1 - Arrival in Chihuahua - Transfer to your Hotel in Chihuahua

QM - Transfer from Chihuahua Airport to your hotel in Chihuahua*

Upon your arrival at Chihuahua Airport, a professional driver will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name to give you a warm welcome and transfer you to your designated hotel. To provide you with a timely and seamless service, it is very important that you share your flight number and arrival time with us, as we will be monitoring any changes in real time.

If you are arriving by another means of transportation, such as a bus, we will gladly coordinate your transfer from the terminal as well. This is the first activity of your Chepe train tour through the Copper Canyon, and it is essential for us that from the very first moment, you feel supported, safe, and in good hands.

Free day in Chihuahua

We have a fantastic day ahead in the historic city of Chihuahua. You’ll be able to visit fascinating places such as the Museum of the Revolution and gain a deeper understanding of the life of Pancho Villa, one of the most iconic figures of Mexico’s revolutionary era. You’ll also discover architectural gems like the impressive Cathedral of Chihuahua, the emblematic Quinta Gameros, and the University Cultural Center, known for its remarkable modernist design.

In addition to its historical and cultural landmarks, the city offers a vibrant urban atmosphere with shopping centers, boutiques, and relaxing spaces. But without a doubt, one of its greatest highlights is the local cuisine. From gourmet restaurants with signature dishes to the famous street burritos that are a beloved local tradition, Chihuahua has something for every palate. If you're looking for an exceptional culinary experience, we recommend trying the delicious cuts of meat at Mochomos, renowned for their flavor and quality, or visiting La Casona, an elegant restaurant set in a stunning Porfirian-era mansion — a true treat for both food lovers and architecture enthusiasts.

If you have extra time, it is possible to include an additional activity to enrich your experience. Please ask your travel agent about the available options. We’ll be happy to help you make the most of your day!

Optional activities (not included):

Accommodation: Hotel Chihuahua San Francisco ****

The Chihuahua San Francisco Hotel (before Quality Inn Chihuahua) is one of our recommended options because it offers an excellent location in the historic center of the city, allowing travelers to easily enjoy the main tourist attractions of Chihuahua. It is just a few blocks from the majestic Cathedral and the iconic Plaza de Armas, making it an ideal starting point to explore the heart of the city on foot.

In addition, its proximity to Plaza Merino, Plaza Mayor, and a variety of local restaurants and shops makes it especially convenient for those who want to make the most of their stay. With comfortable rooms, reliable service, and a privileged location, Quality Inn is an excellent choice to begin or end your Copper Canyon journey with a pleasant and convenient stay.
