    Special Note

    Accommodations & Dining
    This vacation is a Cultural and Natural adventure, which visits some of the most remote, yet spectacular regions of Mexico. Some of the accommodations and services available are rustic and rather basic by American standards. Please be aware that hotels have been chosen for scenic beauty and convenience, but that facilities are limited in isolated regions within the canyon. The choice of menu in Mexico tends to be more limited than on most Brennan Vacations’ tours. Sometimes there may only be two entrees available.
     

    Will I Enjoy This Adventure?
     

    This vacation will appeal most readily to experienced travelers in good health and with an open mind, who accept new experiences and conditions as they present themselves. If you appreciate wonderful scenery and unique culture, Mexico’s Copper Canyon will be a wonderful trip not soon forgotten.
