Chihuahua Travel Guide

House of Pancho Villa is worth seeing.
You get to see the car that Pancho Villa was driving when he was killed.

La Zona del Silencio (Silence Zone) is a semi desertic area plenty of magnetics camps, it is located at Durango and Chihuahua state border. A lot of people com fron all over the world to see fallen stars, ufo´s etc. This picture was taked at night, exposure of 10 minutes asa 100 with moon light.

Ciudad Juarez has a population of over 1.2 million people, it is the fifth largest city in Mexico. With its US sister city of El Paso it has a combined population of more than two million people. The cities are separated from each other by the Rio Grande, which is the US/Mexico border.

If you want to take the Copper Canyon train from Los Mochis to Chihuahua, I would recommend a one way trip. The price of the train ticket from Los Mochis to Chihuahua is about $120 each way. You can fly into Los Mochis and fly out of Chihuahua or you can fly to Cabo San Lucas and take a boat to Los Mochis. Since Los Mochis and Chihuahua are small airports, the cost of a ticket is higher. If I made the trip again, I would probably fly to Cabo San Lucas, take the boat to Los Mochis. Take the train to Creel/Divisadero and stay for 3 days. Take the train to Chihuahua and stay for one night. Then take the bus to Juarez and the taxi to El Passo and fly a one way ticket on Soutwest to your destination.
City Bus in chihuahua. A taxi from the train station to the hotel in downtown Chihuahua.

Three bridges link Juarez with el Paso,the Cordova Bridget, the Zaragoza Bridge and the Paso Del Norte Bridge. You can walk across the river using the latter one. If you plan to walk, remember, before you leave your air-conditioned car, that day time temperatures easily pass 100 degrees Fahrenheit ! (40 degrees Celcius!)

This pictures was taken facing El Paso, Texas.

Fondest memory: Driving from bus station to train station and back, then back to the train station later than morning. Times:
bus to train: around 10:00pm (100 pesos)
train to bus: around 1:00am (70 pesos?)
Long night at bus station trying not to go to the bathroom so we don't have to pay the 2 pesos...
It was a neat place, clean, open ducts on the ceiling... all good except for the horrid kiddy rides that make constant annoying unintelligible noise.
Back at the train station, after talking to some random yan guiza, who seemed to have made up a bunch of stories. Outside of the train station I wandered up a street looking for some food. Not finding any, I returned to the boredom and anticipation of waiting for the train.
