�    By land: in the City of Chihuahua, capital of the homonymous state, travellers will be able to choose amongst several firms of terrestrial transportation that have the towns of Barranca de Cobre as their destinations. These units are an economic alternative to visit the amazing Sierra of Tarahumara.

One of the main destinations is the Town of Creel, the entrance door to Barranca del Cobre; it is located at 264 kilometres from Chihuahua, a distance that is covered in 4 hours, approximately.

There are also buses setting off bound for the Town of Guachochi, at 344 kilometres from the state capital; the trip lasts approximately 6 hours following a dirt road. This locality is at 16 kilometres from the Barranca of Sinforosa, another famous ravine.

�    By air: it is not a widespread means of transportation, although there are various airstrips in the towns of Barranca de Cobre. One of them is located in Guachochi and the flight on a light aircraft from Chihuahua takes roughly an hour.

The First Express takes 12 hours and stops at the tourist stations of Cuauht�moc, Creel, Divisadero (a reasonable time in order to appreciate the surrounding setting), Posada Barranca, Bahuichivo and El Fuerte.
