Trip to Haiti from 23 February to 6 March 2026 / From 3,000€ Discover the highlights of this trip to Haiti
Carnival and Voodoo Spirituality
The Port-au-Prince Carnival is one of the most vibrant festivities in the Caribbean and an essential part of this trip to Haiti. This celebration blends African and Christian traditions, resulting in a unique spectacle of music, dance, and colour.
In addition, we will delve into voodoo, a religion brought by African slaves in the 16th century, which believes the spirits of the dead remain among the living to protect them. We'll visit the Jacmel cemetery and homes where rituals are held, learning firsthand about this spirituality, which remains deeply embedded in Haitian culture.
Exploration of nature and rural life
Our trip to Haiti will take us to discover the Acul Des Pins waterfall, a sacred site where Christian and animist pilgrimages take place. Also, we will explore life in coastal communities, interacting with fishermen and visiting a village of Maroons, descendants of slaves who managed to escape and form self-sufficient communities in the mountains.
History and struggle for independence
This trip to Haiti will immerse us in the history of the first country in Latin America to achieve independence. We'll visit Milot, where the revolution against the French colonizers was planned, and explore the Citadel of La Ferrière and the Palace of Sans Souci, built by Henry Christophe, one of the leaders of the independence movement. We'll also visit Fort Dauphin, built in 1643 in a mountainous region that served as a refuge for freed slaves.
Colonial heritage and historic architecture
We'll visit cities that were key to the sugar trade during the 18th century. Cap-Haïtien, known as the "Paris of the Antilles," preserves an important architectural heritage, including its cathedral, the iron market, and its 19th-century houses. We'll also explore Jacmel, famous for its gingerbread-style houses, a legacy of 19th-century American architects that has become a symbol of Haitian art and identity.
