In the year in which i Maya they predicted the end of the world, a journey into Mexico it's almost a must. Abandon the usual goals like the Yucatan peninsula and Mayan archaeological sites, the destination will be the Californian peninsula with its cactus-filled deserts and tropical seas.
The lion's share is the sea. An uncontaminated sea with great faunal characteristics, such as dolphins, i Sea lions, turtles and, above all, the gray whales, which from mid-December to April go there every year to give birth, offering unforgettable spectacles of splashes and games in the water
Always to "distance themselves" from the classic itineraries, travelers will explore the mountains of Sierra Madre, beyond that arm of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Cortés, which separates the extreme tip of the Californian peninsula from mainland Mexico.
A harsh, angular environment, similar to the setting of a western film, where you can walk through the gigantic canyons, meet the descendants of ancient nomadic tribes, such as the rarámuri (or tarahumara) and i mayo / yoreme, and discover their millenary customs and dances. Visit ancient villages, lakes, waterfalls and get on the only train in the country still in operation: the famous CHEPE, which covers the line Chihuahua-Pacific, from whose window you can admire an unmissable panorama.
