  Natural Wonders of Mexico 1. Copper Canyon, Chihuahua Located in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in Northwestern Mexico,  Copper Canyon  is a vast network of canyons formed by six main rivers that have carved deep gorges into the rugged terrain. Copper Canyon, known as Barrancas del Cobre in Spanish, sprawls across an area of approximately 25,000 square miles (65,000 square kilometers), making it larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the United States. The best way to traverse the Copper Canyon is on the scenic Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico, also known as “el Chepe train“. Considered one of  the greatest rail journeys in the world , El Chepe weaves through the ragged canyons, revealing stunning views of waterfalls, towering cliffs, and rugged ridges of the Sierra Madre Occidental.

Monarch Butterflies in Mexico Why do Monarchs Migrate to Mexico? The mountain hillsides in Michoacán and Estado de Mexico  provide an ideal microclimate for the butterflies.  Here temperatures range from 0 to 15 ° C (32 to 59 ° F).

This incredible journey is completed over four generations. The first three generations live for only one or two months, but the fourth generation, known as Methuselah for its impressive longevity, lives for a remarkable eight months. A beautiful scene I captured while checking out the butterflies.
