We stayed at the Casa de Diaz guest rooms in Posada Barrancas and one of the younger sons took us on a four-hour hike down into the Barranca de Cobre. This area is home to an estimated 30,000 Raramuri peoples (of the Tarahumara Sierra). Homes are scattered throughout the canyons, a flat spot selected for farming and the house built nearby. There are some places where, with more room, three or four homes are clustered on the flat top of a mesa that has sharp-edged cliffs on two or three sides. The hillsides are laced with trails and it is not uncommon to see someone on the far side of the canyon, making their way up or down.
