Falls of Juanacatlan

1919

Falls of Juanacatlan, the Niagara of Mexico. The Lerma, or Santiago, river is the next in point of length, and is a stream of considerable importance, dividing the main portion of Mexico topographically into two subdivisions. It flows for 540 miles from its source in the mountains near Toluca, passing through the beautiful Lake Chapala, the largest in Mexico, and forms the great cascade of Juanacatlan, the Niagara of Mexico.
