On this week’s episode we take a three-day trip from the mountains above Port-au-Prince to the sea near Jacmel as we discuss Haiti’s tourism potential. We hike up the beautiful mountains of La Visite national park to camp out at Kay Winnie (“Winnie’s house” in Haitian Creole) in the small town of Seguin. Then we trek down to the beautiful sand beaches on Haiti’s southern coast. An interview with Winnie, who has been hosting travelers since 1996, offers an insider’s perspective on what it would take to draw more tourists to Haiti.
