Which waterfall in Mexico’s Chihuahua state is commonly described as the country’s second-highest?

Basaseachic Falls is the waterfall in Chihuahua commonly described as Mexico’s second-highest.

The falls are located in Basaseachic Falls National Park in the Sierra Madre Occidental. The water drops into the Candameña Canyon, a deeply incised landscape whose cliffs and highlands form part of the rugged Copper Canyon region.

Basaseachic Falls is seasonal in character. Its flow depends on rainfall and runoff, so the visible volume can change markedly during the year. The waterfall’s total drop is commonly given as about 246 metres, although measurements and rankings can vary according to whether a source emphasizes uninterrupted plunge height or total descent.

Mexico’s waterfall rankings are sometimes confused because several dramatic cascades are measured differently. Basaseachic Falls remains one of the country’s most prominent named waterfalls and the central natural feature of its national park.
