Cascade du Chien, Waterfall in Bras-Panon commune, Réunion.
Description
The Bras des Lianes plunges roughly 150 meters down a steep rocky face, forming a white curtain visible through dense tropical vegetation. The formation is a result of natural erosion over many centuries, creating a powerful natural spectacle.
History
The waterfall has formed over many centuries through the action of water on basalt rock, a natural process that has shaped the landscape of Réunion. This geological development reveals the powerful forces that have built and transformed the island since its formation.
Culture
The waterfall is located within Réunion National Park, a UNESCO-recognized area celebrated for its exceptional natural heritage. Visitors experience here the raw power of nature that has long shaped the identity of the region.
Practical
The waterfall is best viewed from the scenic road where a viewpoint provides clear sightlines. Those wishing to hike to the base should be in good physical condition and familiar with challenging terrain navigation.
