Travel to Haiti

Overview

Haiti

Haiti, which was the first black republic in history, occupies the western third of Hispaniola Island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, the country has undergone wild deforestation and suffers from a chronic state of insecurity. Haiti still has interesting idiosyncrasies, such as its naive art and omnipresent voodoo rituals in daily life. You discover the Caribbean's nice beaches and mountainous landscape in a francophone atmosphere. However, this is a destination reserved for the most hardened of visitors.

French is spoken.
The cultural potential linked to voodoo history and culture is huge.

A lot of interesting spots are hard to access, even in a 4X4.
The social and economic situation is catastrophic.
Riots threaten to break out at any moment.
The population is very sensitive.
