Chihuahua Attractions

 
How to get there

From Mexico City by air (about 2-3 hours), rail (about 30 hours) or bus (about 21 hours).

Chihuahua, capital of the large Mexican state of that name, is attractively located in a valley open to the north but otherwise enclosed on three sides by chains of hills emanating from the Sierra Madre Occidental. Once primarily a mining town, it is now a lively commercial and industrial centre.

History

In pre-Columbian times as well as later, Apaches from Arizona and Comanches from Texas made frequent incursions south, roaming the region.
