Caborachi - Part 3 - Sinforosa


On Monday of our stay in Caborachi with the Finches we went to Sinforosa, which is a park on the edge of the Copper Canyon. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

They have a lookout that puts you out and over the canyon, and also they have some waterfalls that are 2-3km down the side of the canyon. You can hike down to it or, if you have a really good 4 wheel drive vehicle, you can drive down.

We opted to walk.

The waterfalls were like a playground, and we used them to their fullest: jumping around, climbing etc. . . Above the waterfalls there is a suspension bridge that fell on the good side of shady. It did have a few boards missing, but mostly, it seemed sturdy.

Here are some pictures with us and the Finches down near the waterfalls.
The hike back up was rough. The elevation there is over 8,000ft, and we got out of breath pretty easily. We also hadn't eaten lunch yet by the time we took the climb and it was near 3pm.

Here is a pic of the "road" that we were hiking on.
We ate lunch at Los Adobes, a really nice restaurant in Guachochi. I had trout for the first time and the whole meal was delicious.
