Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon) is a region in Northwest Mexico's Sierra Madre which hosts some of the most spectacular and stunning scenery in Mexico's inland territory.

The area known as Copper Canyon is actually a series of 20 canyons, formed over the years by six rivers. The area is sometimes compared to Arizona's Grand Canyon, although the Copper Canyon region is at least seven times the size, and has different topography, flora and fauna to the Grand Canyon.
