Haiti is a sovereign state located on the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea. To its territory are added a number of small islands and archipelagos such as the island of La Tortue, La Gonâve or Cayemites. Due to the current unrest and conflicts in this small country, few people travel to Haiti for a vacation. Which is a pity, because the country has an amazing tropical and semi-arid climate. The terrain is mostly mountainous, but there is a broad, flat central plain to the north.
After being one of the top Caribbean destinations in the 1950s to 1970s and missing the democratic transition after the fall of the Duvaliers (François Duvalier, known as “Papa Doc”, and his son Jean-Claude Duvalier, known as “Baby Doc”), Haiti, nicknamed “the Caribbean Pearl” since colonial times, is experiencing a reborn democracy and is trying to organize and rebuild itself after the violent earthquake of January 12, 2010.
Despite large-scale deforestation throughout the country, Haiti still has forested areas that extend into the neighboring Dominican Republic.
