Haiti

Taking up roughly a third of the island of Hispaniola, the Republic of Haiti is the largest Caribbean country by population (approx 11.4 million) and third largest by area. The mountainous island nation is steeped in a remarkable history, notably the Haitian Revolution, which is widely recognised as the only slave revolt in history to both permanently overthrow colonial rule and establish a sovereign state.

This four-day tour explores northern Haiti’s rich history, from the French Colonial port city of Cap-Haïtien to the tropical beauty of Amiga Island and Cadras Beach. Highlights include the UNESCO World Heritage sites of La Ferrière Citadelle and Sans-Souci Palace, iconic symbols of Haitian identity, alongside visits to Bois-Caïman, where the revolution was planned, Vertières, the site of its final battle, and Fort-Liberté, where Haiti’s independence was first declared in 1803.
