Copper Canyon Mexico

Copper Canyon 2002-2003

This much in demand edition has a major feature on the newly discovered Crystal Cave of the Giants, the largest crystals on earth. This guidebook is for those wishing to experience the heart and soul of Copper Canyon and the Sierra Tarahumara. This is the first guidebook to deal exclusively with Copper Canyon, featuring all new photographs of the famous railroad trip through the Sierra Madre. Traditional Tarahumara festivals documented here have never been seen in any previous publication.

Did you ever wonder about the mysterious Anasazi? Where did they come from, what made them so special and where did they go? This new book rewrites Anasazi theory from top to bottom. What does a traditional Tarahumara think about everyday that the Anasazi also thought about daily? This book presents a completely new, original and unique analysis of the Anasazi puzzle from a Tarahumara ethnographic, historical, archaeological and scientific basis. This book may be a "shock to the system" for pre-1990s Paquime/Anasazi theory and might be considered a masterpiece of original research and mystical art in both design and photography.

This outstanding guidebook also includes the unique and extensive coverage given to the Copper Canyon train trip, the Tarahumara championship runners, plus new materials on the Mystical Barrancas. 8 1/2 x 11", 140 pages, full color, perfect bound.
