Chihuahua is a state in Northern Mexico. It is known for its great deserts, its snow-capped mountains and ravines covered with alpine forests, which make it well-suited for ecotourism. It also has mining towns and colonial cities that were of great importance to the history of the country.

Long-distance buses from U.S. cities usually cross the border at El Paso and arrive at Central de Autobuses Ciudad Juarez, located on Blvd. Oscar Flores 4010 in Juarez.
Chihuahua is a vast land of desert and wide open spaces. Distances between towns can be long and public transit more limited than in populated areas.
