Faro

The Town of Faro is tucked away in a mountainous setting in the Tintina Valley, in the overwhelming wilderness of the Campbell Region between the Hess Mountains and the Pelly Mountains, in the Central-South.

There are also plenty of nearby hiking trails, fishing spots and even a 9-hole golf course that winds through town. 

How do I get to Faro?

The distance from Whitehorse to Faro is 358 kilometers by road. Road takes approximately 5 hours and 24 minutes and goes through Porter Creek and Carmacks.

Fun Facts about Faro

Faro is also a great location for wildlife viewing, including Fannin Sheep in the fall and Sandhill Cranes in the spring. Timing is everything for seeing the sheep or cranes, but the area has numerous other species to see.
