The complete 'Basaseachic waterfall experience'

The Basaseachic Waterfall is located in the Sierra Tarahumara in Chihuahua, México, close to the Copper Canyon, which is three times bigger than the Colorado Canyon. Words cannot describe the spectacular landscape and the vastness of the space in that place. I remember like it was yesterday how it was my first view of the Basaseachic Waterfall: after a long car ride along a semi-desertic area we stopped, got out of the car and walked a few minutes until we found a very big depression and in the opposite side of that a giant column of water appeared between the soil and rocks. The view of the giant waterfall changed my attitude and that of the ones who were with me, as we walked to reach the place of origin of the waterfall the mood of the group turned more and more vibrant. In our way we found big rocks that loomed out of the landscape with the strangest shapes, and as we arrived to the place in which a small stream fell to the soil hundreds of meters below we noticed a change in the landscape: here we found vegetation and drenched soil. We passed over the waterfall on a little bridge that crumbled under our feet. The view of the water falling 246 meters under us was at the same time amazing and frightening. But the experience doesn’t end there: we went to the place where the water actually falls. We walked thru a road that went down zigzagging until we reached the bottom of the big depression and then we walked along a stream and started to hear more clearly the drone sound of the water falling. Then we take a bath right under the big column of water!. The return was very difficult because the road up hill is always more tired, but we were happy because we did all what is required to complete the 'Basaseachic waterfall experience', and we don’t regret it!.
