Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre)

Deeper and wider than the Grand Canyon. The Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre) is a vast system of six distinct canyons in the Sierra Madre Occidental of northwestern Mexico. Hiking here is a journey into the ancestral home of the Rarámuri (Tarahumara) people, often regarded as one of the most famous long-distance runners. The trek from Creel to Divisadero over 3-4 days takes you from high-altitude pine forests down into subtropical canyon floors, crossing suspension bridges and passing remote cave dwellings. It is a world of vertical scale, ancient culture, and absolute solitude.

The Larapinta Trail is a 223km point-to-point long-distance track in the Northern Territory, Australia. Spanning from the Alice Springs Telegraph Station to the summit of Mount Sonder, the route traverses the spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges (Tjoritja). The landscape is defined by Proterozoic-era quartzite ridges, narrow gorge systems, and ephemeral river beds. The trail possesses deep cultural significance to the Arrernte people and offers exposure to one of the world's oldest geological landscapes.
