PRICE INCLUSIONS

SPECIAL NOTE:  We have prepared a PDF file that outlines a loose comparison for this tour vs others in the area.  We feel this is important, as many tour operators bring people into the canyons for a short experience along the top of the rim, but do not take guests into the heart of the canyons.  This tour is extensive and very specially curated to offer lots of time for rest and reflection, incredible scenery, unique cultural observations like no other, and more.  The conclusion of this tour will leave you feeling well acquainted with a diverse number of corners from this region, including (perhaps most importantly), some special insights into the rich Raramuri culture.
