How are seats on board the Chepe train assigned?
Train tickets have a randomly assigned car and seat. These are automatically assigned at the time train tickets are issued.
What are the dynamics of the transfers between the train station and hotels?
When you arrive at the Chepe train stations you will find that there are representatives from the hotels we have reserved for you, waiting for your arrival to transfer you to the hotel.
Getting from your hotel to the Chepe train stations works in a similar way. The hotel staff or the assigned transfer driver will be waiting for you at the hotel reception at a pre-arranged time to transfer you to the train station.
What are the differences between the hotel options in Chihuahua that we offer?
The differences between the Ramada Encore Hotel and the other lodgings in downtown Chihuahua (Quality Inn) are location and modernity.
Regarding location. Being in the center of Chihuahua makes it easy to visit the traditional tourist attractions. The advantage of the Ramada Encore Hotel is that it is located in a modern commercial area with excellent nearby restaurants and access roads.
Regarding modernity. Hotels in downtown Chihuahua are located in older buildings. As a result, it is common for some clients to complain about the maintenance of hotels in downtown Chihuahua.
The Ramada Encore Hotel is a relatively new hotel with no maintenance problems.
Any recommendations for dining and tasting Chihuahua’s gastronomy?
There are several! Chihuahuan food is delicious and you can taste it everywhere. A particularly famous restaurant is La Casona. La Casona is located downtown on Aldama No. 430 and Ocampo, Chihuahua, two blocks from the Museum of Sacred Art and the Main Square.
Mochomos, is very close to the Ramada Encore Hotel. If you like meat this place will make you fall in love.
Finally, we recommend you learn a little about the wines of Chihuahua. Chihuahua wines have won international awards and very few people know it.
What is the stretch with the best views aboard the Chepe train?
The section from El Fuerte station to Divisadero or vice versa.
What are the best seasons to travel to Barrancas?
It depends on the type of landscape you want to find. In winter you can find snow; in spring and early summer you will find a drier climate; from late summer to early winter you will find a wetter landscape.
