Central Haiti covers the central and eastern section of the country, and is home to the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Cities
- Port-au-Prince 📍 (Pòtoprens) — the big chaotic capital that needs no introduction.
- Hinche 📍 (Ench)
- Kenscoff 📍 — a cool mountain retreat from the hectic life of Port-au-Prince.
- Mirebalais 📍
- Pétion-Ville 📍 — the wealthy side of Port-au-Prince, just to its south.
- Saint-Marc 📍 (Sen Mak) — a busy port serving the populous north central section of the country.
- Verrettes 📍 (Vèrèt) — a small city with low crime and a busy live music/nightlife scene.
Other destinations
- Gonâve Island 📍 — Haiti's largest island is a nightmarish vision—the island is ecologically devastated and overpopulated with, essentially, the poorest of the poor who were forcefully relocated by the government to here from Port-au-Prince. Less than a third of the island's population has access to potable drinking water. There are no tourist attractions on this one-time tropical island paradise; no hotels.
