Okay, first things first: the most spectacular and coolest thing about Chihuahua is that it’s in the desert. 😀
Now for the rest. Chihuahua is… I would say one of the largest cities in the north of Mexico, but still small compared to other major cities in Mexico. At the same time, there isn’t really much to see in Chihuahua – I’m being honest. Both of these things are probably due to Chihuahua’s location (in the middle of the desert).
The city itself is quite nice, the centre is cute and quite lively, but apart from one admittedly pretty cool viewpoint, that’s about it.
Means: Chihuahua is ideal for arriving here with the Chepe/from Creel or, conversely, for travelling from here to Creel/with the Chepe towards Los Mochis and taking the day to stroll through the centre and climb up to the viewpoint. Because from Chihuahua, you then return to more populated areas of Mexico. The Chepe route, including Creel, is not very busy and not very well connected. So I would use Chihuahua as a nice stopover and, if you don’t like night buses, spend the night there or continue your journey straight away.

Go or not? Yes 😀 And I would definitely spend a few hours in Chihuahua if I were there, just to look around. Because… who can claim to have been to Chihuahua (especially since there are animals of the same name 😉)?
