Motorcycling Mexico's most dangerous state : Chihuahua |S6-92|

In this video, I am riding to Creel, which is right at the edge of the Copper Canyon, worlds second largest canyon. I am trying to cross over to the coast so I can take the ferry to Baja California, but to get there, I have to ride through Chihuahua and Sinaloa, two notorious states in Mexico.

The "Caballo Blanco" that the family in the cave mentioned was an American barefoot ultrarunner, Micah True, featured in the book, "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall, who reasearched the Tarahumara runners and showcased their incredible endurance and running ability in simple huarache sandals. Micah True lived for a time among the Tarahumara in Copper Canyon, and was beloved by them and became a mythic figure in the ultrarunning world, not for his speed but for his simple life philosophy. He organized ultraruns in Copper Canyon and invited some of the greatest ultrarunners in the world to come and compete against the Tarahumara. He passed away in 2012 on a run in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico.

Took the words out of my mouth. Great book! Not to be confused with another book with the same title written more recently by a guitar player from Jersey, I can't recall his name.

[@gdroege44]

I got to visit Copper Canyon in the 1980’s. Only way in was by train. We spent the night on the edge of the canyon in a very rustic lodge and the Tarahumara sold handmade goods at the railroad stop. They put on a demonstration of their skills by running barefoot kicking a rock racing down the edge of the canyon. The women would wear traditional costumes consisting of multi layered skirts. The lived in caves during the summer around the canyon rim and migrated down to the bottom during the winter. They refused to become assimilated into the Mexican culture. Somehow one of the Tarahumara women somehow got to Kansas and was put in a Topeka mental institution as no one could understand her until someone discovered and she was taken back to the canyon. Amazing memories of my time in Chihuahua Mexico.

[@marianomruiz]

Yes, I heard of that book. The Tarahumaras have been Americans for a long long time. I think 2000 years.

[@carlosmaldonado1744]

It's the area about where you were at, it's called the "Golden Triangle" because the states of Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa meet... Also home to Sinaloa Cartel and El Chapo... For incredible as it may sound, you are NOT likely to be mugged or kidnapped, the cartel prohibits these kind of activities and, in fact, it sanctions (punish) them. You are safer on these roads as you had ever been since you crossed Mexico's south border. My concern was you trying to cross through Caborca, Sonora but Baja was a smart choice. May God be with you all the way to Alaska.

[@balancematters2776]

I appreciate your insight, but I’m confused by the graffiti on that abandoned building by the road: deragotory drawings of four naked women with a man pointing a rifle at one woman, and the word “Sinaloa”. I understand that deragotory graffiti do not represent the hearts and minds of most inhabitants of a particular area, but such graffiti would indicate that acts of violence are not off limits, cartel or not. I’m glad Noraly is long gone from that area by now, and also hope for the best for the kind and people beautiful of Mexico.

@@balancematters2776 Unfortunately disrespect of that nature is widespread in the U SA and many other parts of the world.

@@rayfletcher3683I totally agree with you. The blatant display of that disturbing graffiti is somewhat incongruous to the idea, however, that a traveler through that area is absolutely safe just because the cartel supposedly prohibits acts of violence.

''Tan cool '' 😄 Spoken like a native almost , on the cool spring ride into Creel along the back way . Great stuff . The Copper Canyon considered properly as the system of canyons which it is , is actually more extensive than the Grand Canyon system of the USA .The paved road at the Guachochi intersection passed within 13km of the southern branch Sinforosa canyon and the highway at the Urique River and at other points towards Creel is actually down within a section of " canyon" . The greatest difference is that the Mexican Copper Canyons region receives more rain than the Grand Canyon and is therefor is much more vegetated and green in summer's "monsoon season ".

You’re no more safe walking on the streets of some major city at night, the cartels have indeed major influence in these areas but unlike what the propaganda says(because obviously they don’t want you to come here to spend your hard earned dollars) they are no harm to tourists or ordinary people SPECIALLY IF THEY ARE FOREIGNERS, in these places people live their lives, work, send their kids to school, trade, etc. even cabins for rent to tourists, and the cartels don’t bother them, in fact, I heard they don’t like robbers or people that commit crimes and they punish them, even brutally, with all due respect, in these places you don’t hear about kids opening fir@ against their classmates, or look what just happened in Kansas City. If Noralys hadn’t announce her arrival, what cartels would have done is stopped her, ask her some questions, and don’t bother her again, and make no mistake she didn’t went unnoticed by them, but still, nothing happened to her. If you don’t have anything to do with the “business” and you mind your own business there will be little to worry about.

Amazing you are very brave to travel through Mexico being a lone woman on a motorcycle. When I was 18 my friends would go to Mexico and my father would never let me go with them. He said there are too many bandits there and in looking back I'm glad he did. Good luck to you.

As you know, tracks made in the desert do not go away for at least a century. The delicate soil surface crust is held together by microscopic blue green algae assemblages (called cryptogramic crust), which (over time) add nitrogen to the soil, making it capable of supporting plant life. The few species of plants that live in remote deserts survive under conditions that would kill most plants and often involve symbiotic relationships between species that evolve over time. So...new tracks made in the desert can be destructive for the environment and it's a good idea to try to stick to already existing tracks. I have also loved being in remote places and really enjoy your adventures....thanks for sharing them!

Noraly is a legend. I have been following her since her visit to Southern African countries. Since then I had never missed any of her episodes posted on KZbin. I love you so much Noraly. With love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

My family has lived in New Mexico for several hundred years and I grew up there. The beginning of the video is exactly the same beautiful high desert; the roads, everything, is exactly the same. You do beautiful work.

Very cool that you found the cave that the people turned into their home. Scenic forest and mountainous area. A very good video

[@jonathanramos8414]

Im from southern California. I'm American. But from Mexican immigrant parents. I have only visited TJ and Guadalajara. But I want to see more of Mexico. It's Terrain is rather large and diverse. But I'm worried about the security situation. Watching videos like this makes me glad people from other parts of the world take an interest not only in the united states but the whole of Latin America. Mexico especially. Cheers!

I really appreciate how cautious, informed and aware you are. On top of that you remain courteous and pleasant to everyone...a difficult balance sometimes. Also as a retired firefighter paramedic I'm thoroughly impressed with your persistence on wearing the appropriate protective gear when you ride. Here in the US...no helmet, no sleeves and no rules. From experience...it's not pretty when it catches up to them. I'm hooked on this series. Safe travels.

[@roblange1445]

Totally agree on the riding gear .....watching utube videos of people with no gear makes me cringe

Oh Noraly!! What a beautiful place! Thank you for showing us the world and its people..i live how you take a little time to know abit about the culture and how the environment shapes their way of life. Gorgeous Gorgeous. I am glad you recognize the danger, but the world is in no short supply of horrible graphic images of violence and fear. We love you for caring enough to see the world and share. I guess Louisiana maybe the last thing on your mind! Lol! I have always wanted to see Baja and places along the Pacific coast in the Americas. Lovely Lovely. Blessings for a clear open road and kiss Alaska for me!💙🧡👑

So much respect for you IB....to be traveling alone through Sinaloa...the danger is palpable, but the beauty in undeniable

[@robertscranton2358]

My Dear Noraly, you touched on the issue of your safety a couple of episodes ago. Having a blond blue eyed daughter 18 months older than yourself, I have been concerned for your safety all along. As you get toward the northern parts of Mexico this issue intensifies. I LOVE your channel, yet your safety is paramount to me and I'm sure all us itchy booters. I am glad (I don't know what yet) to know you have made arrangements to keep yourself safe. Your camera work, commentary, and editing are OUTSTANDING as usual. Your SAFETY FIRST, and thank you for the ride. Bob, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@donguadalucio1405]

Having blue eyes and being blonde means nothing. Why does everybody mention that? You people are so racist.

[@genestatler2514]

That visit with the people living in the cave was very interesting, Noraly. With your wonderful personality, you are just a natural conversationalist with anyone. That's some rugged terrain, but very scenic. I'm so glad you decided to take the Baja up to the USA.

[@gigist-m6484]

Well, the landscapes are, as always, just stunning. Mother Earth just is a beauty second to none! 🤗 It's that small selection of humans that put these episodes under a somewhat darkened sky. I am always happy to know your precautions are in place and working. Stay safe, Dear Noraly! 🤗

Safe travels! What an awesome adventure! I'll be happy to see your next few updates when you are hopefully safely in Baja, which looks lovely, and eventually across the border in the US. It's sad to see what the billions of dollars we in the US spend on illegal drugs has done to Mexico. I hope things improve soon. Mexico is such an amazing country with lovely industrious people. They deserve better.

[@armandoayala446]

Believe me there a lot of other countries in worst position than Mexico. Mexico don't need no pity from nobody. Mexico in the top 20 economies in the world even after all that corruption.

The simple solution is to have them not be illegal and end the War on Drugs.

@@ericgittleman4324 I agree. Legalization could make things much better.
