Due to its very diverse climate, Copper Canyon is home to an unusually wide array of fauna and flora. The rims of the canyons are around 8000 feet and are characterized by a low-alpine climate. In less than two hours (a 30-mile drive), one can descend to the floor of the canyon — elevation near 1800 feet — to a hot, humid, and tropical climate.

Just how diverse is the region? Over 300 species of birds have been confirmed to live in between the floor and the rim of the canyon. At the rim, pine trees are commonplace. On the canyon floor, large cacti are abundant.

What kind of creatures can you expect during your Copper Canyon travel? Among the wild animals in the area are black bears, otters, mountain lions, wild boar, colorful parrots, squirrels, raccoons, snakes, foxes, eagles, and white tail deer.

If you visit Copper Canyon in August and September when the wildflowers are in bloom, you will have the opportunity to see over 140 different species!
