The Heart of the Sierra Madre Alliance

The Heart of the Sierra Madre
Standing on the northern rim of the 6000-foot-deep Barranca Sinforosa, we await a delegation of Tarahumara crossing the immense canyon from a place known as Choreachi, one of the most traditional Tarahumara communities and the last pueblo to sustain life in an ancient forest in this part of the world.
