Is La Barranca del Cobre about the same size as Grand Canyon?

La Barranca del Cobre in Mexico and the Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States, are both impressive in size and depth, but they do differ in their dimensions:

- La Barranca del Cobre:

- Length: Approximately 60 km (37 miles)

- Width: Ranges from 10 to 25 km (6.2 to 15.5 miles)

- Depth: Around 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) at its deepest point

- Grand Canyon:

- Length: Approximately 446 km (277 miles)

- Width: Varies from 6 to 28 km (4 to 18 miles)

- Depth: Approximately 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) at its deepest point

While the maximum depths of both canyons are comparable, the Grand Canyon stretches much further in length, encompassing a distance that's roughly eight times longer than La Barranca del Cobre. As a result, the total surface area of the Grand Canyon is significantly greater than that of La Barranca del Cobre.
