Basaseachi Falls
Cascada de Basaseachi
One of Mexico's tallest year-round waterfalls, about 246 m high, located in Candameña Canyon within the national park of the same name.
The waterfall plunges vertically from basalt cliffs into the canyon. The park has a clifftop viewing platform, lookout windows, and a steep trail down to the base of the falls, about 3 hours round trip. Within the same park, the Piedra Volada Falls are even taller (about 453 m) but flow only seasonally and require a long hike. The falls lie about 130 km by car from Creel, so for a day trip, leave early or stay one night in the village of Basaseachi.
