Introduction

On the way to Creel

If you're after a small town, rural, Mexican experience... you'll find it in Creel. You can pretty quickly understand why, yet again, all the locals seem to loiter around all day. The simple answer is, there is little else to do. However, for an unwinding couple of days before embarking on the copper canyon trail, this is a great place to do it.

There is a fantastic taqueria up one end of the main street. The earth coloured paint on many of the buildings on this main street only adds to the rural experience. There is a strangely empty Museo de Palientologica (Dinosaur Museum), forgive my poor spanish, also along the main street. A good hostel is located at the station end of the street. About half way up that same street (there really only is one), is a good little bar where you can knock back a couple of coldies in front of the fire. It can get really really really cold at night, so be prepared.
