Though it shares an island with the Dominican Republic, in Haiti you’ll find a vastly different country, both in culture, language, religion, and people. Haiti has the resilient beauty of a country rising from the devastation of poverty, corruption, and natural disasters. You’ll meet the tireless Haitian people who will welcome you like family. Here you may also witness the deep roots of voodooism, but you’ll witness how the Holy Spirit is reversing the effects of brokenness.

Culture

Haitians love to laugh. You can show that you have a sense of humor, as long as it relates to the behavior or feelings of the person with whom you are speaking.

Explore

Haiti offers a wide variety of scenic beaches to visit. If you find yourself near Jacmel, make your way to Bassin Bleu to a beautiful waterfall.

Take a shopping excursion through the massive The Marché de Fer (Iron Market) in Port au-Prince.
