Los Mochis is the western terminus of the Chihuahua-Pacific Railroad, or ChePe, which passes through the scenic Copper Canyon. Considered a masterpiece of modern engineering, the Chepe regularly crosses the spectacular Tarahumara mountain range.
\r\n\r\nIn Los Mochis you can visit the Regional Museum of Valle del Fuerte, the Botanical Garden, the Sinaloa Park, and the La Pergola. The latter is a large park located on a high zone of the city with beautiful panoramic views.
\r\n\r\nThe port of Topolobampo, barely 24 kilometers (15 mi ) from Los Mochis toward the west, is one of the most important in the Mexican Pacific. It is well known, not only for its fishing activities and superb shrimps but also as a thriving commercial and industrial center.
