RIDE THE EL CHEPE EXPRESS
LOS MOCHIS TO CREEL 

TO DO:
  • The photos in this album are from the original train.  We will ride the Express train, which became operational in 2018, as it has a brand new car with a panoramic view that guests can visit.  This train also has a lovely restaurant car.  If you prefer to take the old train due to a lower budget or you prefer to ride the original vintage train, please let us know.  (I rode 3rd class on the original train in 2018 and loved it, but it is a rustic experience). 
  • At the conclusion of your tour, we can drive to Chihuahua City or take the train back to Los Mochis.  We highly recommend visiting the city, as there is a lot of interesting history there.
