Pitorreal: The rock that grants fertility to those who touch it in the Sierra Tarahumara and Copper Canyons

The town where the "rock of fertility" It has beautiful landscapes in the Sierra Tarahumara of Chihuahua, but it is popular for its almost two-meter stone in the shape of a penis.


Between San Rafael and Creel, in the Copper Canyon, very close to the Chepe train tracks, within the state of Chihuahua, there is a town with a name that many people find comical. This is the Pitorreal station, which is so called because of a large stone whose natural formation, some claim, is equal to that of a human penis. Locals indicate that it is a 'Fertility Rock', and the site is a station on the 161 kilometer route of the Chihuahua to Pacific railroad.


What is Pitorreal?

Pitorreal is a town located in Bocoyna, it is around 80 years old.

Many claim that the word Pitorreal was coined by Rarámuris settlers many years ago, and that its meaning had a direct relationship with fertility.


To date, this site is known as the place where the Rock of Fecundity rests, which has the official name "La Mexicana".


It is said that she was worshiped by the first settlers, who assigned her magical powers to make people have offspring.



It is said that if you pass through Pitorreal, and do not touch this stone, you will be sterile and will never be able to enjoy the experience of having children, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman.

In the opposite case, if you touch this stone with faith and desire to procreate, this gesture could be taken as an act of devotion that could be rewarded with a baby.
