Discover the hidden gem of Durango, a destination that is still relatively unexplored by tourists. This region in Mexico has incredible potential for eco-tourism, offering a unique experience for adventurous travelers. The northern part of Durango is reminiscent of the famous Copper Canyon area, with its magnificent canyons, Mennonite communities, and the indigenous Tarahumara culture. However, what sets Durango apart is the absence of foreign tourists and backpackers, creating an opportunity for authentic exploration and genuine interactions with the locals. While Durango may have less infrastructure and camaraderie, it compensates with the chance to truly immerse yourself in its rich culture and untamed natural beauty.
