Barranca del Cobre.

It has nothing to do with cobras, it means Copper Canyon in Spanish. It is situated in Northern Mexico, just over the Arizona border. It is deeper than the Grand Canyon of Colorado (in Arizona), but it is not so famous because it is not in the United States. The climate at the top, well over two thousand metres above the sea level, is quite cool, a bit like England. The climate at the bottom, for example in the town called Urique (at the picture), almost at the sea level, is subtropical and very hot. And there are Apaches living there as well, they are called Tarahumara here. They don't drive Cadillacs as the Arizona Apaches do these days, instead they walk in sandals they make out of Cadillac rubber tyres. But more about them later, now a few pictures from the Canyon itself.
