The Juanacatlan WaterFalls Postage Stamps
The Juanacatlan Falls, popularly known as the Niagara of Mexico, on the 50 cent postage stamp issued in the year 1899
The Juanacatlán Falls are on the River Santiago, shortly after it leaves Lake Chapala on its way to carve the deep Oblatos Canyon on the northern edge of Mexico’s second city, Guadalajara. In 1899, these falls were considered to be the second largest waterfall in North America (in terms of volume of flow) after Niagara Falls. A bridge with 24 arches spans the falls and joins the villages of Juanacatlán and El Salto (The Waterfall).
