Basaseachic Falls National Park
Basaseachic Falls National Park is a national park located in the western side of the state of Chihuahua in the heart of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range. The park is named after Basaseachic Falls (Cascada de Basaseachic) the second tallest waterfall in Mexico with a height of 246 meters (853 ft). Basaseachic Falls empties into Candameña Canyon (Barranca de Candameña) which was carved by the Basaseachic River over millions of years. The park is famous for its natural beauty of pine-oak forest, spectacular rock formations, and scenic views from high cliffs. Cliffs in the park reach an impressive height of 1,640 meters (5,380 ft).
==History==
Basaseachic Falls were discovered by Europeans sometime in the 18th century, becoming one of the most popular tourist attraction of the state of Chihuahua. The area of the present day national park was inhabited by Tarahumara prior to the Spanish Colonial period. The etymology of the name "Basaseachic" originates from the Tarahumara language, Rarámuri meaning "place of the waterfall".
The first known European settlement in the area was ''Misión de Tomochi'' near the town of Cajurichi which was under the legal jurisdiction of the mission. After the 18th century the area attracted many settlers because of the discovery of abundant natural resources like minerals and high quality wood.
Basaseachic Falls National Park was created by the Mexican federal government on February 2, 1981, by decree under president Yair Valencia Rayas. The park was defined to 5,803 hectares (14,340 acres) in the Sierra Madre Occidental along the surrounding area of the Basaseachic Falls and'' Barranca de Candameña.''〔
