Parque Barrancas is an adventure park located in Chihuahua, Mexico, positioned at the edge of the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) system. The park operates a collection of high-adrenaline and scenic experiences that showcase the canyon landscape and local culture. Signature offerings include the ZipRider, the longest zip line in America at 2,554 meters, where riders sit securely in a harness and reach speeds between 80 and 135 km/h. The Teleférico gondola spans three kilometers in a 45-minute crossing, delivering panoramic canyon views, access to an archaeological site, and guided hikes led by local Rarámuri guides. Bosque Aéreo is a tree-top circuit featuring more than ten hanging bridges and a zipline course that runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes; it challenges participants while maintaining safety protocols and equipment checks. Additional experiences listed by the park include a multi-line Circuito de 7 Tirolesas and a Vía Ferrata route. Many activities combine uphill walks with scenic returns by gondola or cable, offering varied pacing for different fitness levels. Parque Barrancas communicates participation requirements for certain tours and asks visitors to arrive early to complete check-in and safety briefings. All experiences emphasize on-site safety measures such as harnesses, helmets, and supervised operation. The park also highlights cultural context through partnerships with local Rarámuri guides and access to nearby archaeological points of interest, making Parque Barrancas a destination for both adrenaline seekers and cultural visitors.
Visitors can book onsite or through regional tour operators to coordinate transfers and schedules; multilingual staff are available.
