It’s a small group expedition that immerses you into the history, culture and food of Northern Mexico. You will immerse yourself in the history of Mata Ortiz pottery while buying some of the finest pottery in the world.

This is just a small glimpse of what this week long tour involves. Round trip transportation included in the Tortuga 3 van. Describe your tour for travelers to know that they will enjoy this experience. A 9 day 8 night all inclusive venture into the heart of Northern Mexico.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this experience? Can kids join?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids should be 12 or older since there’s a lot of walking and some cultural nuances that might not click with younger ones. It can get a bit intense with the train ride too, so just make sure they can handle that kind of journey. I've seen families with teens enjoy it a lot!

Q: How’s the food on the tour? Any vegetarian options?

A: Definitely! The tour includes meals that cater to different dietary needs. If you let Pablo know in advance, they can whip up some amazing vegetarian dishes. Plus, the regional food is super delicious, so you’ll have a tasty time!

Q: What should I wear for this trip? Any tips on packing?

A: Layering is key! Mornings and evenings can be chilly in the canyon, so bring a light jacket. Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you’ll do some exploring. Also, pack a hat and sunscreen—those sunny days can be intense! Don't forget a reusable water bottle!

Just booked the Creel and El Chepe experience! Any tips?

I'm super excited! Just booked this 9-day journey to Northern Chihuahua, and I can’t wait. I've heard the El Chepe train ride is unreal, especially the views of Copper Canyon. What should I definitely not miss while I’m there? Any packing tips? I just wanna make the most of it!

Anyone done the Creel and El Chepe tour? How was it?

Thinking of gifting this experience to my parents. They love culture and food, and this seems perfect! I’m curious—how was the food? And did anyone find the train ride uncomfortable at all? I want to make sure it’s a great experience for them!
