We took an overnight bus from Sayulita to Los Mochis. It was a very comfortable coach, certainly more comfortable than any red-eye flight I’ve taken. We caught another bus to El Fuerte, at the western edge of the Copper Canyon.

We caught a train the next morning from El Fuerte to Divisadero in the heart of the Copper Canyon. The train ride was about six hours long, and we spent long stretches leaning out windows between cars and taking in the views.

The train stretched out before us.
There were lots of climbs along the way. This looks back at a bridge we had just crossed.
I hadn’t done a train ride at all like this. I’d highly recommend it! It’s a great way to travel.
