Rio Vista Lodge

Cerocahui Lodge

 

Canyon Travel directly operates, through a Mexico corporation, the most in-depth and flexible Copper Canyon travel programs featuring private lodges without the commercial distractions of mass tourism.
The Uno Lodge, a Tarahumara owned lodge, built with government funding and operated by Canyon Travel, has the most panoramic overlook of any canyon rim lodge with the only view of the meandering river one mile below.

The company, in partnership with an El Fuerte family, built the Rio Vista Lodge overlooking the Fuerte River.
Canyon Travel built lodges near Cerocahui and Batopilas in mutually beneficial partnerships with local communities.
The lodges are comfortable, environmental friendly and offer dining rooms with scenic views.  All rooms have two double beds, tiled bathrooms, and fine bed and bath linens including terry-cloth robes.

The Uno Lodge is accessed by a private 6 mile road and it is perched on the rim of a large promontory that extends into the canyon.  It is the only rim lodge with a view of the river at the canyon bottom and it has a continually changing panorama of colors.

 
 

“ We had an extraordinary holiday; thank You. Our favorite place was Uno Lodge, on this trip if not in the whole world (in spite of the road!) We were there at the time of the full moon and to see the moon rise over one edge of the canyon as the sun set over the other was unbelievable - one of many unforgettable memories.
Thank you again - it was wonderful.

The Uno Lodge offers some of the best hiking on the North American continent. Hikers along the rim have a captive view of the river thousands of feet below and explore caves with archaeological ruins, satellite sites of the Mogollon culture to the North. Treks to a tented base camp at the canyon bottom are outfitted with pack burros and ascend the canyon to the Dos Lodge, another remote lodge. Less active travelers walk to a nearby stream with a waterfall and do sightseeing in our vans enjoying the biological richness of this unique habitat with the world's most varied species of pines and oak
