Piedra Volada, Seasonal waterfall in Copper Canyon, Mexico.
The Piedra Volada waterfall drops 453 meters from the canyon wall, creating one of the highest water cascades in Mexico during rainy periods.
The waterfall became part of a protected natural area when the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas established supervision of the site.
Local indigenous communities maintain traditional connections to the waterfall, considering it a natural monument within their ancestral territories.
Visitors need to pay an entrance fee of 62 Mexican Pesos and follow a marked trail through private land near Ejido San Lorenzo.
The water stream flows only during wet seasons from June to October, falling from a point where a distinctive round stone formation marks its path.

The Mexican state of Chihuahua extends from desert plains to pine forests in the Sierra Madre Occidental, reaching elevations above 2000 meters. The region preserves a rich cultural and natural heritage that includes pre-Columbian rock art, colonial-era mining facilities, and religious buildings from several centuries. The landscape features deep gorges, natural waterfalls, and extensive mountain ranges. Archaeological sites document the early settlement of the region, while churches and chapels reflect Spanish influence from the 16th century onward. The diverse ecosystems range from arid zones to dense coniferous forests and support varied flora and fauna.
