Cascade Pichon (

Haitian Creole: Kaskad Pichon) is a series of waterfalls located in the Belle-Anse Arrondissement, in the Sud-Est department of Haiti.[1] The waterfalls are fed by an underground lake.[2] The former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier named Cascade Pichon one of Haiti's greatest tourist destinations.[3]

Access

Cascade Pichon is remote and access is difficult. The gravel road passes through riverbeds, flood plains and steep inclines.[3] It is located approximately one hour drive north of the village of Pichon, near Belle-Anse commune, a thirty minute hike from car parking.[4]

Pools

The waterfall consists of three pools:[5]

  • Bassin Dieula
  • Bassin Marassa
  • Bassin Chouket
