Few hotels inspire you to sleep
with the curtains open, let alone to get up before the crack of dawn while
you’re on vacation. But you won’t want to miss the sunrise if you are staying
at the Hotel Mirador in Mexico’s
Barrancas del Cobre (Copper
Canyon).

Built into the wall of one of the
area’s multiple canyons, all rooms at the Mirador face the same way, providing
magnificent views that stretch for miles. The décor is simple and comfortable, designed
to reflect the local style; but it is the region’s nature that makes a stay
here feel truly luxurious. From the break of day, when sounds begin to carry up
from the Tarahumara houses scattered in the valleys below, to the stillness of
evening, when it is hard to tell if a voice comes from just below or from miles
away, the tranquility of the canyon makes it hard to leave.

Numerous hiking trails lead from
the hotel, and cycling or horse riding are also available nearby. A small
Tarahumara settlement is within easy walking distance, although tourists should
remember that these are people’s private homes. On the other hand, you may
choose to just stay put, enjoy the views from the balcony, and experience a
peace unknown elsewhere.
