While in Creel we set up a day trip to see the tallest (246 m; 807 ft) year-round waterfall in Mexico: Cascada Basaseachi. At dinner the night before, I saw a painting/photo on the wall of the restaurant we were at depicting a waterfall in a surreal setting. I pointed it out to Leena and said I was wondering whether it was a photo or a painting. It looked like a photo, sure, but it was also framed in a way that made you think it couldn’t really look like that.
After a couple of hours of driving the next day, we arrived to the viewpoint. The canyon was full of fog.
At first, we couldn’t even see the waterfall, though we could hear it. After about 20 minutes, it began to emerge from the fog.
As it emerged, it soon became clear that it was in fact a photo in the restaurant.
From the viewpoint, we hiked about 45 minutes down to the top of the falls.

After the hike, we continued past the falls about 15 minutes to meet our driver. After some lunch, we headed back to the original viewpoint since all the fog had cleared. Here are a bunch of shots of one of the most beautiful vistas I’ve ever taken in. Did I mention this was on my birthday? Quite a treat.
