Mansión de los Orrantía

Top choice in The Copper Canyon & Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico


A short hop from the main plaza, the Mansion Orrantia serves up some of El Fuerte's best cooking. Feast on beautifully prepared plates of lobina (black bass), kaukes (crayfish) and camarones (shrimp) in the art-filled dining room or the more atmospheric courtyard.

Attached to the restaurant, the elegant Hotel Santa Elena has spacious colonial-style rooms overlooking the courtyard (doubles M$1000).
