Best time to visit Haiti

This beautiful Caribbean destination experiences a tropical climate. Haiti commonly experiences high temperatures and humidity which can be felt throughout the year. The dry season (November – March) is considered the best time to visit. It is ideal for sightseeing and venturing through the cities, including Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and Cap-Haïtien. Visitors can attend some incredible festivals during the dry months. Fet Gédé Vodou, which takes place on November 1st, is similar to the “Day of the Dead”. Tourists can also attend Le Festival du Rhum in November which explores Haiti’s most prized export, rum. Partake in rum tastings, workshops and cooking demonstrations. Music enthusiasts can experience the annual Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival in late January. During the low season (April – June), visitors are advised to travel to the north of the island, as there is a decrease in rainfall. It is best to avoid the capital city, Port-au-Prince, during May – it is the wettest month. Cheap flights and accommodation can be found during the months of August to October, as it is the peak hurricane season.

Haiti is a country rich with sheer resilience and determination found amongst its people. Its spirit can be felt amongst the interactions with the locals, in the food you eat, as well as the moving festivals that are celebrated, such as Fet Gédé Vodou. Haiti’s unique attractions create an off-the-beaten track paradise that deserves to be marvelled at. Yes, Haiti has been troubled with years of civil unrest and natural disasters, including the earthquake of 2010. Yet, it perseveres as the nation proves its determination to rebuild itself. In fact, many of the attractions are well preserved and can be encountered by those who dare to journey to this bountiful destination. The city of Cap Haïtien, nicknamed “The Paris of the Antilles”, is home to stunning architecture and a palatable love for art. Nestled on the northern coast of the country, the city holds many stories of Haiti’s past during colonialism and its march to becoming an independent nation. Popular attractions in Cap Haïtien include The Citadelle Laferrière and the Sans – Souci Palace. The capital city, Port-au-Prince, is designed similar to that of an amphitheatre. Port-au-Prince’s tropical landscape is abudant with incredible sights and activities, including art shopping, Boutillier (scenic views at the highest point of the city), and Jalousie in Colours (hundreds of homes painted in a range of colours).
