Hotel Mirador

Poised like an eagle's nest at the canyon's edge is the Hotel Mirador, located near the highest point of the canyon. Overlooks from this hotel exhibit awe-inspiring scenery from the rim of Copper Canyon. Pine trees surround this deluxe hotel and appear to be etched out of the natural rock itself - perfectly harmonizing with its surroundings.

The Hotel Mirador is actually an extension of the well-known Rancho Hotel, housed in a beautiful structure that is unique in both its architecture and decor. Each of its 48 luxurious rooms and suites has a private terrace where you can enjoy one of the finest views of the Copper Canyon - a bird watcher's paradise. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the lobby areas.

Among the numerous amenities at Hotel Mirador, a gift shop with a variety of items to make your Copper Canyon stay even more memorable is located in the lobby. The Tarahumara women weave their baskets out in front of the hotel, ensuring that the best-made baskets in the entire canyon system are sold here.

The hotel has stone paths to different nearby sites for the comfort and convenience of all guests. Take a horseback or driving excursion to a Tarahumara Indian village, wander down a path to an inhabited Tarahumara cave dwelling located in the cliffs beneath the hotel, or if you are really adventurous, hike down to the canyon floor - the choice is yours!
