Haiti is a fabulous country, it has a great nature and a wonderful landscape. Lovers of water entertainment (surfers, divingists) and lovers are so angry on the beach come here. Yellow coastal sand, the whisper of a quiet surf – all this in conjunction attracts tourists and makes us return to this country many more times.

It will not be bored here and amateurism lovers. In Haiti there are national parks in which you can see the caves, take a walk along the tropics and soak under warm sunlight in alpine meadows.

Near the coast of La Ganaba you will see a very rare phenomenon-a rock sheltered with a layer of black punishment. On the coast there is another attraction of Haiti with a ridiculous name – the cave “The hole of the zombie”.
