Paquime Ruins

I'm in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. It is near the city, Old Casas Grandes which predates the railroad and is contingent to the important pre-Colombian ruins of Paquime. By some standards the high point of Paquime development, in about mid-1200 Ad, is fairly recent.
The area around Casas Grandes is ready for you to explore. There are enough adequate hotels in the area and the road and highway system is good, improving, and lightly traveled.
Work of some of the best traditional potters, recently difficult to get to, is now easily visited. There are developed hot springs in easy driving range. The well know "Copper Canyon" is not far by northern Mexico standards.
