Basaseachi Falls is the second-highest waterfall in Mexico, on the Basaseachic River in Basaseachic Falls National Park in the Copper Canyon region of north-west Mexico, 3 km from the village of Basaseachi and about 265 km west of Chihuahua city. It drops 246 metres, surpassed in Mexico only by Piedra Volada Falls. Two streams meet high in the mountains and then fall down the canyon wall, after which the river continues as the Candameña in the canyon of the same name. A long white ribbon of water plunges into a deep canyon ringed by brown and pink rock cliffs and pine forest, with mist and spray rising from below in the rainy season. Trails lead to viewpoints above the falls and on the far side of the canyon. The falls run fullest in the rainy season from July to September and shrink a lot in the dry months, and the trail to the bottom is steep. The UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to Chihuahua state outside the Copper Canyon rail corridor, so check your government's advice before visiting.
