What a beautiful and peaceful place to both relax and have some hikes around the area, either organized or individually. The staff was very helpful and kind. It is a cute hotel managed by a local family, the lovely decorated dining room has lots of family souvenirs. I particularly loved the view from the garden to the rocks and woods.

“Very happy and comfortable”

The staff was really friendly, helpful and nice. Hugo, the owner and his wife were there to attend the guests in a calm and serene way, making us feel very welcome. Their youngest daughter Ania, is adorable. We could feel that the hotel has been done with love and care. It is like a small museum, full of interesting objects, books and articles from different newspapers and magazines telling us the history of the region, the hotel, the owner, the local people, the flora and fauna, etc. It all felt very personal. The bar, the chimney, the courtyard with fruit trees, etc so very nice.. The location is perfect, in between Bahuichivo, where the train arrives and Cerocahui the small town. With plenty of trails for walking and exploring the beautiful landscape.

“👍”

Wonderful location and an amazing hospitality from Hugo and the staff. Great view from Hotel to the sierra, very good dinner and breakfast and perfect rooms. Was great to heat the room during the night with a wood stove. All authentic and a great experience - we would join again Hotel Paraiso del Oso and can recommend it!

“Always again”

Rustic accommodation, in the middle of the mountains with a lot of atmosphere. Extremely nice and helpful owner, organizes great tours. Rooms are simple but functional and are heated in the evenings with a wood stove. Food is good and tasty. Great bar with an open fireplace.

great staff tours arranged for us and on time interesting buildings excellent food comfy room

“Perfecto”

Large lobby/dining area encouraging mixing with other guests. Friendly and helpful staff. Guide available for local hiking.

Room was extremely clean and loved that they provide a refillable jar of water instead of giving plastic bottled water. Hot shower and room has a wood stove, which you can ask to have lit - very nice to warm up the room before bed. The also clean the room daily and refresh everything. Hotel has a beautiful setting with the mountains in the background. Food was ok but gets repetitive if you are there for more than one night. Be aware that the hotel is about 25 minutes from the train station, 7 minutes from Cerocahui - if you want to have different food options, they can drive you Cerocahui and charge 100 pesos for the transfer.

“Excellent and would be happy to stay again”

The location is stunning, the view of the rock formations and the walk alone the river bank reconnected one with nature. Beautiful walk which everyone should do.

The decor was very nice, cowboy western type. The food was good with large portions. Located in a beautiful part Of Cerocahui.

Friendly, helpful staff. Freshly made apple juice.

“Such a hidden place on earth!”

Such a hidden place on earth! I’ve seen quite a lot accommodations around the world. But this place is special. The team is doing such a lot to feel you comfortable. The connection to other travelers is great to share travel stories! For sure the room and the garden are great to spend some time during your Copper train trip. The food is so good. Highly recommend!

“Above & Beyond expectations! Simply the best!”

The way you are treated! every single person at Paraíso del Oso will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable! a few examples: My mom got sick and Raúl asked Jaime to go and get her some medicine. Jaime, went to the doctor himself and asked for the right medicine! Jaime is the best guide you can have! he took us on a trip to the little town of Urike and the whole trip was super entertaining and informative! Jaime is very well versed in history of the region and the region itself so if you’ve got a question or want to learn more, Jaime is your best option! Raúl made sure that our stay was the best, even when we changed the itinerary, he made sure we experienced the best to offer! And the rest of the staff, are pure sweethearts that were always making sure we had the best time! The rooms are impeccable! and trust me, that is not an easy task given the amount of dust you can get up here! the shower is warm and relaxing, and at night, because it was still chilly, we got that light d of stove/chimney that kept us warm like three little pancakes! Seriously, I am not exaggerating, if your plan is to make the most out of Barrancas, make Paraíso del Oso your base and from there they will make your trip much more richer than you could’ve expected or done it yourself! ps. and the food!!! that discada (meat dish but also with options for vegetarians and vegans!) with hand made flour tortillas!! to die for!

Very homely friendly part of the real Mexico. Lovely homecooked food, roaring fires, perfectly tranquill setting and the possibilty of adventure in the form of a rattle over the summit to the beautiful village of Urique with Hugo. Think Mexican Brigadoon! Not for the faint hearted though, as the mountain road is no motorway - it reaches some 5500 feet above the valley floor!
