ENTRY INTO MEXICO

On entering Mexico you are required to obtain a tripist card at the border office - you must be able to show your passport as ID. If arriving in Mexico by air you will be able to obtain your tripist card at the airport.
If entering Mexico in your own vehicle you will need your title in the driver’s name, drivers license and will have to pay a fee of around US$15. Credit card is a must unless you have enough cash to deposit about half of your vehicule value.

TIPS

Stores in this area supply a fair selection of groceries and also drinking water. If you want to wander off the beaten track it is advisable to buy your groceries in Creel first and always carry either a water filter or water purifying tablets.
The people here in this area are generally very friendly and helpful but please note that along with the rest of the world there can always be an exception to the rule.
Camping is possible almost anywhere in the Copper Canyon but you should always be careful. Also, if not camping in a designated campsite you will find it necessary to pack up all your goods and carry them with you or you may come back from a short hike to find that you no longer have a tent or sleeping bag.

Hitch hiking is also another good way to get around but again you have to be careful and it is wiser when doing this to travel in small groups and do not in any circumstances hitch hike after dark.
