Have Fun in Parque de Aventuras Barrancas del Cobre

Board El Chepe train in Creel, and hop off at the next station, Divisadero. Here is one of the most amazing mountain parks in the world. In addition to gorgeous views, the park has more than a dozen activities to try. 

If you are in the area, check out what there is to do: whiz down any of its seven zip lines and cross two hanging bridges on a 3-mile circuit. For the more daring, there is the world’s longest zip line—8,300 feet long—letting riders reach more than 62 mph in only 15 seconds. The ride takes two and a half minutes, and has stops to keep your adrenaline in check. 

There are additional trails for hiking and riding mountain bikes, and there is Salto de Tarzán, with vine-like cables so you can swing just like the character. Campgrounds are also available. The least heart-pounding option is taking the cable car, open to the whole public.
