Drive into the Canyon: Hire a Local Driver
This Warning Tip is about driving, and before giving my recommendation I will say that I have grown up driving in the narrow and winding streets of Southern Italy, I have driven ever since in three continents, in every weather conditions, and almost every types of vehicle; bottom line I am generally not afraid of driving anywhere. Said that, I disrecommend doing yourself if you are planning to drive into and at the bottom of the Canyon (Batopilas for instance) and recommend hiring a local driver instead. Roads winding into the canyon are dirt, narrow, crooked and with no protection on the side. A wrong turn in the wrong curve may result you falling into the canyon with little to no chance of surviving. Sometimes two vehicles cross their path and need to maneuver in challenging conditions. You need not only to know the roads and the pitfalls on the way, but also master the vehicle you are driving and have experience of the driving of the others. The driver of the guided tour we hired drove very cautiously and told us he used to do that drive twice a week many weeks a year. Per how I started, I would not be afraid doing the drive but I wouldn't do it as a safety concern and I do not recommend doing it to others who are not experienced with the place.
