About Haiti
Haiti occupies the western third of Hispaniola and is the most mountainous country in the Caribbean - its Taino name means land of high mountains. As French Saint-Domingue it was the richest colony in the Americas, built on sugar and enslaved labour, until a revolt made it the world's first Black republic in 1804. Most of its people speak Haitian Creole.
Known for the 1804 revolution, Haitian Creole, vodou traditions, papier-mache Carnival masks and griot and pikliz.
Getting around
Haiti is not a place to get around casually right now. Canada and the United Kingdom both advise their citizens against all travel: armed carjacking is common, criminal groups put up improvised roadblocks to extort or kidnap motorists, and public transport is often disrupted by blocked roads and security incidents. Canada's advice is to avoid all public transport, above all the trucks converted into buses known as tap-taps, and it names Cap-Haïtien's international airport as the best way in and out while regular international flights to Port-au-Prince are suspended. If you must move by road, travel with people who know the ground that day.
