Itinerary
Detailed day by day information
Chihuahua to El Fuerte
Your "Train Ride in the Sky" begins as you board the first class and comfortable "ChePe" at 6:00 am bound for El Fuerte. Between Chihuahua and El Fuerte lies the most scenic and rugged mainline railroad in the Western Hemisphere, if not the World! Transfer from El Paso available. (Buses leave 8:30am, 10:30am, 3:00pm, 6:00pm)

Climb to an elevation of more than 8,000 feet before descending to nearly sea level. This line took 111 years to complete due to the rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre Range, and financial problems. More than 200 trestles/bridges and 87 tunnels were required to complete the task.

Upon arriving in El Fuerte, you are transferred to a tourist class lodge for a well deserved night of relaxation and sleep. We recommend upgrading to the Posada del Hidalgo Hotel, which is a fantastic property in the heart of the city. Transfer from El Paso available

El Fuerte to Chihuahua
Today you get to do it all over again on your return trip to Chihuahua, this time climbing from sea level to an elevation of 8,071 feet before descending nearly 3,500 feet as you enter the high plateau country of Mexico. Spectacular rivers, canyons, mountains and towering cliffs await you. Bring lots of film.

You are scheduled to arrive in Chihuahua around 7:50 pm, but delays are common. Affordable pre/post trip lodging specials are available. Transfer to El Paso available. (Buses leave every hour beginning at 8:00am)
