Hey Efuentes,

Great info! I was just in your home town of Los Mochis over Christmas. I even learned how to say Topolobampo correctly. We drove up to El Fuerte and took the train to the Copper Canyon overlook. Beautiful countryside, friendly people and great food. Had a great time!

A future overland 4x4 trip is starting to be planned! I will be following your blog! Do you have GPS waypoints for the roads to take? I talked to a number of people about driving from El Fuerte to Chihuahua, but most said you could not get there from here! I assume they were kidding, but more to the point; it is not easy as there are so many small roads to navigate. I'm sure local help would be needed along the route.

Thanks for posting, I look forward to hearing more.

Since they open the mine EL Sauzal in 2005 its possible to drive from El Fuerte, but most of the people dont know.

The comments about not being able to get there now make sense.

Can't wait to hear more. This is why I'm getting my FJ-60 ready for overland trips. There is so much to explore and so little time!

Thanks for posting! :cheers:

Copper canyon is on my "bucket list"!
 
WOW. You're officially bookmarked;)
Just asking: how would you rate a family of six (four adults and two tots) driving down there with a stock 80 in, say, March or April, from El Fuerte to Batopilas? Feasible?:D
 
I'm looking to do this WITH a partner in late July/early August. I pass by every year but have yet to find someone interested enough to go.

March or April are the dry months, ideal for me would be late September, i´m kind of worried of having a single car crossing from Choix to Bahuchivo.

The are other people trying to go on the same dates, a group at least for that part of the route will be ideal.

But do you think driving through with a stock 80 sounds reasonable or wise?
