About This Waterfall
This is probably the most famous waterfall in Mexico. Often cited as the tallest, Basaseachic Falls is easily one of the most impressive in the country. There is a natural rock arch at the brink of the falls, which would make this the tallest waterfall in the world with an arch spanning the waterfall. We've seen figures for the height of the falls ranging from almost 1100 feet down to about 700 feet. Without seeing topographic maps, we can't be too sure, but we feel that the present figure is close to accurate.
