Basaseachic Falls, Waterfall in Ocampo, Mexico.

Basaseachic Falls lie in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains of northern Mexico, where two streams join and drop 246 meters (807 feet) over a cliff edge into the Candameña Canyon. A fine mist forms at the point of impact and catches the light differently depending on the time of day and angle of the sun.

Basaseachi is absent from all colonial-era documents, suggesting the site was unpopulated and probably belonged to the Tomochi mission, near Carichic (now Cajurichi). The surrounding area was declared Basaseachic Falls National Park by decree published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 2 February 1981, under President José López Portillo, with 5,800 hectares protected.

Basaseachi means "place of coyotes" or "waterfall" in the Rarámuri language. The falls are absent from colonial records, which suggests the spot was unpopulated and probably belonged to the Tomochi mission near Carichic, today Cajurichi. Local guides from Piedra Bolada and Huajumar have led visitors to the sister falls of Piedra Volada since their grandparents' time.

Several hiking trails lead to the rim or down into the canyon, with the shortest path taking about 15 minutes to the upper viewpoint. The descent to the canyon floor is longer and follows narrow trails that can become slippery after rain.

The surrounding national park is home to over 90 species of conifers and more than 70 species of oak, making it one of the most diverse forest regions in North America. Mountain lions and white-tailed deer move through these woods and are occasionally visible from the trails.
