Basaseachic Falls, Waterfall in Ocampo, Mexico.

Two streams merge to form a 246-meter cascade that plunges into Candameña Canyon within the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range.

The European discovery of the falls occurred in the 18th century, leading to the establishment of the first settlement at Misión de Tomochi.

The name Basaseachic originates from the Tarahumara language Rarámuri, translating to 'place of the wolves' where 'basachí' means coyotes.

Visitors can access the falls through multiple hiking trails, including a 15-minute path to the top and a longer route to the canyon floor.

The national park houses 92 species of conifers and 76 species of oak trees, creating a varied ecosystem for mountain lions and white-tailed deer.
