Haiti - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Haiti, located on the western portion of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea, is characterized by its mountainous terrain. Two peninsulas, separated by the Gulf of Gonâve, form its distinctive shape. The country's interior is dominated by rugged mountains, with the highest peak, Pic la Selle, reaching 2,680 meters. While the majority of Haiti is mountainous, narrow coastal plains and river valleys offer fertile land for agriculture. The Artibonite River, the longest river on the island, flows through Haiti's Central Plateau. The country's climate is tropical, with variations depending on elevation. Haiti is vulnerable to natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, which have significantly impacted the country's development.
