## Description

Perched at roughly 8,130 feet in the Sierra Tarahumara, the Bocoyna airfield beside Mexico's Copper Canyon serves tourism and general aviation rather than commercial traffic. It carries no IATA code, no cargo terminal, no scheduled freighters and no air-freight customs post. Visitors use Creel as a gateway to Tarahumara hiking country and the Chepe railway, which links the sierra with Los Mochis on the Pacific. Air freight for the wider Chihuahua region is handled through Chihuahua International Airport (CUU), about four hours' drive to the northeast, with Los Mochis (LMM) an option towards the Pacific and Ciudad Juárez (CJS) for cross-border traffic. Goods from the sierra move by road and rail in any case. For forwarders the field holds no cargo role, functioning instead as a mountain-tourism reference point.
