Basaseachic Falls National Park, National park with waterfalls in Chihuahua, Mexico

Basaseachic Falls National Park protects the 246-metre Basaseachic Falls, where the Duraznos and Basaseachic rivers pour over a dark rock lip into the Candameña Canyon. The fall drops as a permanent curtain of pale, milky water streaked with white foam. Its canyon walls rise 1,640 metres, and the park covers 5,803 hectares of pine and oak forest.

The area became an official national park in 1981 as part of a broader effort to protect the natural resources of the Sierra Madre. This designation helped preserve the waterfall system and the surrounding forest from commercial development.

The name Basaseachic comes from Rarámuri: "basachí" is the word for coyote, and "chic" means place, so the park's name is usually read as "place of the coyotes" or "place of the waterfall". The Rarámuri, often called Tarahumara, lived in this part of the Sierra Tarahumara before the Spanish colonial period.

The park is accessible by car via Federal Highway 16 heading west from Chihuahua, with the journey requiring several hours through mountainous terrain. The best time to visit is during or shortly after the rainy season when water flows most abundantly.

The park has two different waterfall sources: one flows year-round while the other only becomes active during the rainy season. These contrasting water patterns create entirely different landscapes depending on when you visit.
