The woman’s husband, described locally as Irish, was reportedly the one to call for help and a translator assisted police at the scene.
Local media said the woman was 75 years old and her husband was 79.
No information about a possible cause of death has been made public; a post-mortem will soon take place.
The small mountain town of Creel, located some 175 kilometres, or a 3.5-hour drive, to the southwest of the state capital Chihuahua City, is surrounded by a patchwork of rugged canyons.
It is considered the gateway to Mexico’s Copper Canyon, one of the wildest and most beautiful regions in the country.
Traditionally a logging town, tourism is now Creel’s main industry.
One of the regional attractions is El Chepe train – the only train for travellers from Mexico, covering majestic landscapes across the Copper Canyon.
