- The tourist infrastructure of this region is limited and there are no
luxury accommodations available.
- Dont wander off the paths to the archaeological sites. The terrain is very rough
and it would be unlikely to find help should you need it. Also, drug cultivators may
occupy the barrancas of the remote Huapoca Canyon.
- Dont assume that it is easy to get from one place to another because they appear
to be close on a map.
- Take all your food and water requirements when entering the canyon as few provisions
are available outside of Madera.

Motel Real del Bosque has the best accommodations in Madera. Consequently, it is
frequented by tour buses and advanced reservations are highly recommended. It is the only
motel in town that offers organized tours of the surrounding countryside including the
archaeological sites. Tours require a minimum of 4-6 people depending on the destination.

published by Footprint Books in the UK and Passport Books in the US. There is a good
section about Madera and the archaeological sites of the Huapoca Canyon. It also has the
most current information about available accommodations in Madera.
