“ THE SPINE OF THE DEVIL”
A fascinating site located 106 miles away from Mazatlan in the border with Durango State. This will be an enjoyable drive on highway 40 towards Durango, with incredible landscape views of mountain and pine trees that enrich the journey. Travelers from all over the world visit this region of Mexico due to its amazing beauty.
I recommend you to start very early in the morning and make the first stop in the community of Santa Rita, here you will enjoy a delicious breakfast. Then continue the adventure towards the Spine of the Devil. Get ready to witness a fantastic panoramic view of deep canyons (8000 thousand feet deep), surrounded by deep vegetation simulating a green carpet, covering hills and mountain sides.
Once you are there, go on to the next state of Durango, and proceed to visit Mexiquillo, here you will admire the mysterious valley of the stones, which resembles a prehispanic city of huge stones and rocks placed one above the other; like giant totems, preserved among the centuries. After this, visit the marvelous Mexiquillo waterfall ( 60 feet deep); this cascade crosses one of the old railroad tunnels built in 1960, not in use any more.
