OVERVIEW

Chihuahua is a large inland city on a high desert plateau in northern Mexico. Its centre contains a cathedral, civic buildings and museums linked to independence and the revolution, while modern commercial districts spread far beyond the historic grid. Dry hills and wide skies frame the urban area.

Regional history is especially visible through sites associated with revolutionary leaders and former government institutions. Meat-based cooking, cheese and flour tortillas reflect the surrounding ranching culture. The city also serves as a transport point for the dramatic railway journey towards the Copper Canyon, though its museums and plazas justify time before departure.

Trace local history at City Hall of Chihuahua
