Series of waterfalls located in Haiti

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]
