Basaseachic Falls

Basaseachic Falls, or Cascada de Basaseachi, is a major waterfall in Chihuahua’s Copper Canyon region of northwestern Mexico, within Parque Nacional Cascada de Basaseachic. Formed where Arroyo del Durazno and Arroyo de Basaseachic meet in the Sierra Madre Occidental, it drops 246 meters into Cañón Basaseachic and continues below as the Río Candameña. At 807 feet, it is Mexico’s second-highest waterfall, though it was long considered the tallest until Cascada de Piedra Volada was measured higher in 1994. Seasonal flow can greatly reduce or dry the falls during spring and autumn, while its protected canyon-and-mountain setting has made it one of Chihuahua’s best-known natural landmarks.
