Vaipito Valley

Vaipito Valley is a valley in Pago Pago, American Samoa. Situated inland, the valley lies at the head of Pago Pago Harbor and follows the course of the Vaipito Stream, the main drainage system for the Pago Pago watershed. The valley rises to an elevation of approximately 600 feet, forming a natural low point in the surrounding mountain range, and serves as a primary residential area in Pago Pago village.

Vaipito Valley serves as the meeting point for three streams — the Vaipito Stream, Leau Stream, and Vaima Stream — which all flow into Pago Pago Harbor. The valley is framed by two mountains: Fatifati Mountain to the north, standing at 370 meters, and Palapalaloa Mountain to the south, reaching an elevation of 470 meters.
