Haiti occupies the western third of Hispaniola island, sharing the island with the Dominican Republic. It was the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean (1804) and the first Black-led republic, following the only successful slave rebellion in history. Port-au-Prince, the capital and largest city, sits on the Gulf of Gonâve. Despite significant challenges including poverty and political instability, Haiti has rich cultural heritage, vibrant art scene, historical significance, and French-Creole culture. Visitors interested in history are drawn to Citadelle Laferrière (UNESCO site, largest fortress in Americas), Sans-Souci Palace ruins, Labadee beach peninsula, Bassin Bleu waterfalls, and Haitian art and music. Note: Many governments advise against non-essential travel due to security concerns.
