About this picture: Best Places in Haiti
In Haiti, Vacations is the name of the game.
There are so many great places to visit.
Do not be intimidated by what you hear in the news media about Haiti.
To have the most positive experience in Haiti, I suggest that you fly to Port-au-Prince and immediately travel to your destination.
I've seen a bunch of getaway packages to Haiti.
While vacation packages seem to give some of the best bang for your buck, cruise lines are offering very competitive rates as well.
For example, you can sail four nights on the Carnival Imagination in an oceanfront cabin, plus receive a free upgrade.
Sailings depart from Miami, with ports-of-call in Key West and Cozumel.
About the photos in this category:
Officially the Republic of Haiti is a Caribbean country.
Along with the Dominican Republic, it occupies the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antillean archipelago.
Ayiti (land of high mountains) was the indigenous Taíno or Amerindian name for the mountainous western side of the island.
The country's highest point is Pic la Selle, at 2,680 metres (8,793 ft).
The total area of Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) and its capital is Port-au-Prince.
Haitian Creole and French are the official languages.
Haiti's regional, historical and ethnolinguistic position is unique for several reasons.
It was the first independent nation in Latin America and the first black-led republic in the world when it gained independence as part of a successful slave rebellion in 1804.
Despite having common cultural links with its Hispano-Caribbean neighbors, Haiti is the only predominantly Francophone independent nation in the Americas.
It is one of only two independent nations in the Americas (along with Canada) that designate French as an official language; the other French-speaking areas are all overseas départements, or collectivités, of France.
The following are some of the mosth beautiful sections of Haiti before the Earthquake of 2010.
