Haiti

HAITI occupies the Western end of the island of Hispaniola , which it shares with the Dominican Republic . It is mainly mountainous and forested, with magnificent beaches along its coasts. Haiti has to be one of the most intriguing and exotic of all Caribbean destinations. Haitians have artistic talents to spare. As in the mother country, France , Haitians are engrossed in the production of world-class paintings and sculpture. Haitians also share the French knack for creating and serving fine cuisine in romantic settings. Although preservation has not been a priority for very many of the numerous Haitien governments, benign neglect has left the countryside covered with remnants of the wars for freedom, the defeat of the Slaver Empire.

The adventure tourist can find much of interest to see and do. One of the best places to start exploring the country is the capital city of Port-au-prince . It offers many good sights and there are some excellent beaches nearby. Another nice place to go is Cap haitien , which offers very good beaches nearby as well as some nice things to do and see.
