Located in Mexico, Copper Canyon is a collection of six small canyons, which are usually considered natural formations. The name of the canyon fully reflects one of the main characteristics - slopes of the gorge are of saturated copper-red color. Over time, the slopes of the canyon were covered with green moss that was considered a copper deposit by Spanish colonizers. Walking up the steep mountain slopes remains one of the favorite pastimes of tourists; the luckiest may see rare species of native predators. That’s why unaccompanied walks in some areas of the gorge are prohibited.

Vertical drop in the gorge is about 1,870 meters, and while mountain peaks are covered with snow, subtropical forests at the bottom of the gorge literally hum with life. The canyon is home to over 30% of the representatives of the Mexican fauna; rare Mexican wolf, black bear and cougar can be found in local dense forests. A number of plants growing in the canyon numbers in thousands. These places have always attracted active travelers, and therefore picturesque Copper Canyon was elected as the permanent venue for the Festival of adventure tourism. Fans of excursions may visit settlements of Raramuri Indians and buy handmade souvenirs.
