Haiti was the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the first country to be founded by formerly enslaved people in 1804.
The Citadelle Laferriere, a mountaintop fortress in Haiti, is the largest fortress in the Americas.

- A traveler on visiting Haiti
Haiti occupies the western third of Hispaniola and holds a proud place in history as the first Black republic and the second independent nation in the Western Hemisphere. The Citadelle Laferriere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site perched atop a mountain, stands as a testament to the country's revolutionary spirit. Despite its challenges, Haiti's vibrant art scene, rich Vodou traditions, and beautiful beaches like Labadee continue to draw curious and compassionate travelers.
