Peguis Canyon, Scenic viewpoint in Ojinaga, Mexico
Peguis Canyon features deep rocky formations along the Conchos River, with walls reaching heights of 350 meters and narrow passages of only 8 meters wide.
The canyon walls contain ancient petroglyphs and Ammonite fossils, indicating human presence dating back hundreds of years and geological formations from millions of years ago.
Local communities from Ojinaga and Coyame del Sotol regions maintain strong connections to the canyon, sharing stories and legends through generations.
The viewpoint stands 40 kilometers west of Ojinaga city, parallel to Federal Highway 16, offering panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape.
Three large streams merge with the Conchos River at the canyon's western entrance, creating powerful water turbulence that has shaped distinctive erosion patterns.
