The Rarámuri or Tarahumara are a group of indigenous people of the Americas living in the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. They are renowned for their long-distance running ability.
Originally inhabitants of much of Chihuahua, the Rarámuri retreated to the high sierras and canyons such as the Copper Canyon in the Sierra Madre Occidental on the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 16th century.[1] The area of the Sierra Madre Occidental which they now inhabit is often called the Sierra Tarahumara because of their presence.
Estimates put the Rarámuri population in 2006 at between 50,000 and 70,000 people. Most still practise a traditional lifestyle, including inhabiting natural shelters (caves or cliff overhangs). Staple crops are corn and beans; however, many of the Rarámuri still practise transhumance, raising cattle, sheep, and goats. Almost all Rarámuri migrate from one place to another during the course of a year.
The Rarámuri language belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family. Although it is in decline under pressure from Spanish, it is still widely spoken. In the Rarámuri language, the endonymic term rarámuri refers specifically to the men; women are referred to as mukà (individually), and as omugà or igómale (collectively). (Wiki) Nikon F3, 180mm f2.8
The Rarámuri or Tarahumara are a Native American people of northwestern Mexico who are renowned for their long-distance running ability. In their language, the term rarámuri refers specifically to the men, women are referred to as mukà (individually) and as omugà or igómale (collectively).
Near the town of Bocoyna, in the municipality of Sisoguichi, an extensive valley opens up where enormous rocks rise up to 30 meters (98 feet) high, the famous Valle de los Monjes (Valley of the Monks). There are several sets of five and even ten rocks that, it is said, look like giant monks with their characteristic posture, clothing and hood that are on the way to a pilgrimage because of the way they are placed.
On their part, the Tarahumara, who call it the Bisabirachi Valley, believe they are petrified gods willing to listen to the prayers of any of its inhabitants.
The only truth about this site is that the limestone rocks are the product of wind erosion, rain and ancient tectonic movements that shook the region. The Valley of the Monks can be explored on foot or by bicycle and in the company of a tour operator, it is permitted to practice rappel on the surrounding rocks.

During our highway 16 service station pit stop on the way to Chihuahua City this elderly Tarahumara Indian was walking by. A character face! He appeared to have a problem with his left eye.
Next stop will be Chihuahua City, capitol of the state of Chihuahua.

Also known as Raramuri the Tarahuma are indigenous people of Northern Mexico. They also famous for their long distance runners.
There's a clump of Lindenleaf Sage with those tiny very mauve flowers near the Glass Houses in the Amsterdam Botanical Garden. Lots of activity there today if you had an eye for it. These Thick-Thighed Hoverflies are quite tiny and you can easily miss seeing them.
'Lindenleaf' sounds rather Old-Worldly, but this Sage is actually native to Central America. Today it grows all over the world, often naturalised. It is said that the wee seeds - a bit like poppy seed - have been used down through the centuries by the Tarahumara native Americans in the northwest of Mexico in a kind of drink. The plant is there known as Tarahumara Chia. It's apparently especially useful for tests of endurance.
Perhaps the nectar has that same property. Our small Thick-Thighs were quite 'at it'...

The Tarahumara are native people who inhabit the Copper Canyon region of Chihuahua, Mexico. Using a double-weave technique, the women weave these nested baskets (9 diminutive baskets nestled inside the largest of them for a total of 10) using needles from the apace pine tree and split leaves from the sotol cactus. The outside basket measures 2.75 inches across at is widest point and the nested baskets are less than 1.5 inches tall. They have a lovely pine fragrance.
A Tarahumara lady displays her weaving for sale on one of the trails along the rim of the Urique Canyon. Their work is unique from other locations we visited.

TARAHUMARA INDIANS:
The Tarahumara or Raramuri, as they call themselves, inhabit the Copper Canyon, as it is known in the U.S., or the Sierra Tarahumara in northwest Mexico. The actual name Tarahumara was what the first Spanish called these Native American people.
The Spanish originally encountered the Tarahumara throughout Chihuahua upon arrival in the 1500's, but as the Spanish encroached on their civilization the shy and private Tarahumara retreated for the nearly inaccessible canyons of the Sierra Tarahumara. Only the Jesuit missionaries followed at first and with only scattered success.
After mineral wealth was discovered in the mountains, many areas where Tarahumara Indians lived became desirable lands to the miners & mining companies forcing the Tarahumara once again to head farther into the remote canyons. Today, the Tarahumara are Mexico's second largest native Indian group with between 50,000 & 70,000 people.
Today the Tarahumara live in caves, under cliffs and in small wood and stone cabins in remote areas. They live a simple life undisturbed by modern technologies.
They are known as a quiet and considerate people who are expert farmers and runners. Rarámuri has been translated to mean "runners" in their native language. Due to severe drought in northern Mexico, the Tarahumara have suffered famine in the past few years.
Corn is the main staple along with beans. Potatoes, and apples can also be found. Some Tarahumara raise domesticated animals such as goats and cattle. Fish, small game & herbs (a Tarahumara speciality) round out their diet.
Traditional clothing for the Tarahumara consists of a white cloth shirt, sometimes with colorful prints, white cloth pants or wraparounds with colorful belts or accessories. Headbands of cloth usually red are worn upon the head. Sandals or huaraches are the footwear of choice.
Running is what the Tarahumara may be most legendary for in the world. Relief and various organizations have entered Tarahumara runners into events such as the "Leadville 100-Mile" in Colorado. The runners have surprised many by running in their tire-soled sandals and winning some of the these long distance races.
Running or "foot throwing" has always been a tradition and necessity of the Tarahumara. It is their only mode of transportation and many of the small communities are far apart. They also have their own events, and this is were "foot throwing" comes into effect. It is a competition known as RarjÃparo and consists of a small wooden ball which is "thrown by the foot" by teams in race to finish before the other teams. The races can last days. The Tarahumara are very religious and desire their privacy and respect if you should happen unto their festivals. Two larger events are Semana Santa (Easter Week) and the Fiesta Guadalupana in December. These religious rites are a mixture of Christian and Tarahumara beliefs.
There are also other times of celebrations, such as harvests, which are interwoven with tesgüino. It is an alcoholic beverage made of corn and grasses that is good only for a couple of days after it is brewed. Natives will drink until passed out in some cases.

While waiting for the train to take us on to Creel I wandered off the train depot and this young boy came running up to me asking for Pesos. We came to agreement through hand signals that I could take his photo for Pesos. His family were nearby and I think they encouraged him go for it.
