SIERRA TARAHUMARA
 
 
 
 
San Ignacio de Arareko is located 8 km. south of Creel, on the road to Cusarare.

This prodigious area offers incredible beauty to the visitor: The Arareko lagoon, the Batosarachi waterfall, the Valley of the Gods, the Valley of the Mushrooms, the Barranca del Cobre mountain passages which are refuge four cougars and deers. But above all, Arareko is full of mysterious magnetism from the ceremonies and customs of the local raramuri people. People who love their land to such extent that they say their life has no meaning without the vital strength provided by the nature surrounding them.

In Arareko you can also hire horses, boats, bicycles and experienced guides.

For the person who wants to blend with nature, there is nothing like the more than 20 thousand hectareas (124,000 square miles) of woods in Arareko, right in the middle of the Tarahumara mountain range.

There is a beautiful lake with blue waters surrounded by grey rocks, oak and pine trees. You can rent boats, go fishing and engage in water sports.
