About Haiti

Haiti occupies the western third of Hispaniola, with Caribbean coastlines, mountain ranges and a culture rooted in African, French and indigenous traditions. The Citadelle Laferrière and the palace of Sans-Souci near Cap-Haïtien, the beaches of the southern coast, and Port-au-Prince's art and markets are its best-known places. The cooler, drier months from December to March are the most comfortable, while summer and autumn are hot and humid.
