10 Reasons Why The South Of Haiti Should Be Your Next Destination - Perri Pierre.

1.- Southern Hospitality.

It is a fact! People in the South are more welcoming. I am sure you have heard it the world over. And it's no different in Haiti. Perhaps, why they call the capital city of this department, Les Cayes "The City Of Hospitality".

2.- Beautiful Beaches.

From Aquin to Coteaux, the South has some of the most beautiful beaches the country has to offer. This list includes, Gelee Beach - One of the longest and most visited Beaches in Haiti, Point-De-Sable Beach in Port Salut, and not to forget Abakabay - which recently made CNN's World's 100 Best Beaches.

3.- Resorts.

Speaking of Abaka bay Beach, it's part of one of the most beautiful resorts in Haiti, "Abaka Bay Resort Beach Front Hotel". Located on the island of Ile-A-Vache, it's only a 15-20 minute yacht ride from the port of Les Cayes. But Abakabay is not the only resort on this Island, not too far there is Port-Morgan.

4.- The Waterfall - Saut-Mathurine.

Located in Camp-Perrin, Saut-Mathurine is the largest waterfall in Haiti. The source of its stream of water comes from the Rivière de Cavaillon. And it doesn't matter if it's over 100 degrees everywhere else. It always feels good there. Simply amazing!!!

5.- Botanical Garden.

Located in Bergeau, about a mile away from Les Cayes, this 50 acre garden contains plants, fruits and some very exotic flowers. It is the country's most spectacular botanical garden. And it’s soon to be the Caribbean's best.

6.- Mountains - Macaya.

​Like to hike and climb mountain trails? Well, you have come to the right place. The south is home to the second Highest mountain of Haiti: Macaya.

7.- Historic Sites - Forts. 

Numerous Historical battles took place in the south. Forts were built as a form of protection. Among them we can name, Fort des Anglais and Fort des Oliviers. Both located in Saint Louis du Sud, about half an hour drive from Les Cayes. Fort des Oliviers was built by the French during the colonial period, to fight the English.

8.- Caves. 

The South of Haiti has two of Haiti's Caves, including the country's Largest: Cave Marie-Jeanne. It is Located in Port-a-Piment, in the western part of the south and is about 120 meters deep and 4 kilometers long, making it one of the largest caves in the Caribbean.

9.- Sunset. 

​Any town located on the south-western side of the country has the perfect angle to watch the sun sink slowly into the sea. And that makes the south the go-to vacation spot to watch sunsets. My personal favorite spot is in Port-Salut. It has the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen.  
Picture

10.- Food.

To be fair, everyone has different taste in food. But if you're into seafood, the chefs in the south got you. Because from the Conch in Gelee Beach, to the lobster in Port-Salut, they will make you the best seafood that you have ever tasted.
