Copper Canyon offers several great falls and this one just takes a little hiking. You must cross the flow at least once, easy in the fall, you may need to be selective in the spring.

You get to follow the flow for awhile before you head uphill and cross the highland for a great view.

Exit Creel on route 25 heading SE toward Guachochi/Araeko. Go past km 93. That's about 1.5 km out of town. (N.B. My Garmin map shows this as route 127 but the signs on the road claim it is route 25. Take your choice).
