WHY VISIT HAITI

If you overlook this negative point, you can leave the crowded beaches of Port-au-Prince for those of Congo or Raymond Les Bains, not far from the city of Jacmel, as well as for the seabed of the island of La Gonave, or the southern coast of the island of La Tortue.

Inside the country, discover the deep forests surrounding the Pic de la Selle, the lakes and waterfalls of the Blue Basin, the village of Kenscoff in the southern peninsula with its special craftsmanship and the voodoo rites of the waterfall. ‘Water.

As for the capital, Port-au-Prince, very lively, it has the reputation of sheltering many dangers: this does not prevent you to visit the market in Iron with a guide, nor to discover the cathedral of the Holy Trinity with Its amazing frescoes, or the Haitian Art Museum of St. Peter’s College. There are also some sites which testify to a more splendid past for the country: the forts Jacques and Alexandre in Piétonville, the citadel La Ferrière not far from Cap-Haitien, the ruins of the Sans-Souci Palace in Milot.
