My sensors were thrilled by the breathtaking landscape of Barrancas del Cobre. Known as the Copper Canyons, these canyons are a group of six distinct canyons located in the Sierra Tarahumara in northwestern Mexico. The canyon system is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the United States. The canyons are home to the indigenous Rarámuri people, who have lived there for centuries. Exploring the canyons felt like being transported to another world. I learned about the history and culture of the Rarámuri people, and compared the landscape with other canyons I have visited. The beauty of the canyons is truly unmatched, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced it.
