CONFIRMED
This waterfall has been confirmed by the World Waterfall Database, has been mapped and its height has been approximated but exact measurements have not yet been confirmed.

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.

Our thoughts

Whether the falls are 246 meters, or 312 meters or any point between is immaterial. This is a spectacular waterfall in a splendid setting. The tall horsetail plunge is rather like the upper tier of Yosemite Falls in appearance, and is a very scenic valley of its own.
