Things to do

Canyoning in Mexico

Mexico's canyons are filled with adventure—whether it's a climb, a quick rappel to the floor, the rush of a raft trip or a peaceful descent or horseback. Get to know Mexico at its most profound. Top Mexico canyon exploration: the sheer, dramatic drops at Boquillas and Huasteca Canyons in Nuevo Leon; the primeval height and incredible plant life at Chiapas's Sumidero; or the mother of them all: Chihuahua's Copper Canyon, the desert dazzler that's grander than even you-know-what in Arizona. And don't forget Baja Norte's Cañon de Guadalupe, whose high granite walls shelter hot springs, waterfalls and natural cold-water pools.
