Saut-Mathurine

Saut-Mathurine is a waterfall near Camp-Perrin that plunges down a steep drop and flows into a turquoise pool along the Cavaillon River. The water spreads across a wide rocky base before continuing downstream through southwestern Haiti.

The waterfall has long supplied water to the communities living nearby and served as a vital resource for daily life. Later, the power of the water led people to build facilities for generating electricity for the region.

Local people come here on weekends to swim and spend time together as a gathering spot that anchors community life. The waterfall serves as a social center where families and neighbors maintain these bathing traditions.

The drive from nearby towns takes about 40 minutes over rough unpaved roads, so a capable vehicle is needed for the journey. Planning ahead and talking with local guides helps you find the best way to reach this spot safely.

Turbines work here to generate electricity from the falling water while the waterfall itself maintains its natural appearance and power. This balance between using the water for energy and keeping its wild character makes it noteworthy.
