Laton Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Astara County, Iran.
Laton Waterfall is a two-tiered water system in the mountain region near Astara, flowing constantly throughout the year with substantial force. The cascade descends through steep terrain surrounded by dense forest vegetation typical of Iran's northern highlands.
This waterfall region has served as a water source for settlements since ancient times when Persian communities first inhabited the area. The constant flow of water made it essential for supporting populations in the mountain valleys below.
This waterfall holds special meaning for nearby communities who see it as a place where nature's power is most visible. Visitors notice how the sound and mist shape the way locals and travelers experience the mountain landscape.
You reach this waterfall by hiking a marked trail through forest and steep terrain, so wear sturdy footwear and bring drinking water. The path requires steady footing and takes time to complete, especially if you want to spend time viewing the cascade.
What stands out here is the unusual two-step formation that creates a distinctive visual effect as water crashes down at different heights. This specific arrangement of rock creates a rare pattern that makes this waterfall notably different from most others in the region.
