Mexico - Copper Canyon & Northern Mexico (Chapter)

This is the Copper Canyon & Northern Mexico chapter from Lonely Planet’s Mexico guidebook.

The country’s most progressive, culturally rich cities are here, as are some of its most non-Westernized indigenous peoples. It’s a place where, like desperados of times past, you’ll find yourself lingering for longer than you anticipated.
