Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Both are spectacular canyons, but the Grand Canyon is far larger in scale.
| Feature | La Barranca del Cobre (Mexico) | Grand Canyon (Arizona, USA) |
|---|---|---|
| Length | ~60 km (37 mi) | ~446 km (277 mi) |
| Width | 10–25 km (6–15 mi) | 6–28 km (4–18 mi) |
| Max Depth | ~1,800 m (5,900 ft) | ~1,800 m (5,900 ft) |
Key takeaway: Maximum depths are similar, but the Grand Canyon is ~8× longer and has vastly greater total area. La Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon) is a network of six canyons; the Grand Canyon is a single, continuous chasm.
