Cascade du Chien, Waterfall in Bras-Panon commune, Réunion.
The Cascade du Chien is a waterfall on the Bras des Lianes, a tributary of the Rivière du Mât, in the commune of Bras-Panon on Réunion. The stream leaves a small notch in a steep, dark rock face and drops as a narrow white ribbon that widens slightly on the way down. Seen from a distance, the lower part of the fall is hidden by the foliage in the foreground.
The Cascade du Chien is fed by the Bras des Lianes, a tributary of the Rivière du Mât, on the territory of Bras-Panon.
