YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK — The family of 22-year-old Josué Baires Alfaro is facing unimaginable grief after he plunged over the 600-foot Nevada Fall earlier this month.

Josué, described by loved ones as full of life and dreams, fell while hiking in Yosemite National Park. His body has not yet been recovered, adding further heartbreak to an already devastating loss.

His mother, Maria Josefa Alfaro, who previously lost her eldest son, is now mourning the death of her second-eldest. The family is desperately working to bring Josué home.

“He was full of life, full of dreams, and had so much ahead of him,” his mother said.

This tragic incident has deeply affected the family and the broader community. Park officials continue efforts related to the recovery.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Josué’s family as they navigate this profound loss. May they find strength and support during this difficult time.
