When to go to The Copper Canyon
November - April
These months have the most pleasant temperatures, though at higher altitudes it can drop below zero in December – February. You’ll often find snow in the Copper Canyon rim area during this season. The cooler weather means these months are ideal for hiking and active adventures like zip lining. There is less rainfall during this season, with February – March as the driest months. November is a good time to experience the waterfalls in full flow, as the rainy season has just ended.
