High in the rugged wilderness of **Mexico’s Sierra Tarahumara**, beyond where most roads reach and even the air feels different, lives a people whose name literally means “those who run fast.” The **Rarámuri**, often referred to as the **Tarahumara**, are Indigenous to this land — and they are unlike any runners you’ve ever known.

Imagine a river so green it looks like melted jade, snaking through cliffs taller than a cathedral. Welcome to the **Verdon Gorge**—also known as **Gorges du Verdon**—a place often called the “Grand Canyon of France.” Only here, instead of red desert rock, you get alpine cliffs, turquoise water, and fields of lavender nearby.
