In order to explore the
Center, we highly suggest a 4WD vehicle. Also,
fill the tank with gas in Croix des
Bouquet, for stations are few and far
between in this region. Follow Route National 3, across the Cul de Sac
plain, heading to Croix-des-Bouquet. Take advantage of the photo
opportunity of Port-au-Prince
as you climb up the steep
Morne-à-Cabrit.
Continuing North, one reaches Haiti's wettest town Mirebalais. This
crossroads town is at the head of the Artibonite
Valley. In order to cross
the border into the Dominican
Republic, turn E on RD305 passing
Lascahobas
onto the frontier town of Belladère.


To the west of Mirebalais are two sacred sites. The
lovely village of Ville Bonheur is home to a church situated on the site
where locals reported an appearance of the Virgin Mary in 1884. Thousands
of converts make the pilgrimage every July 15th. Hiking a few miles
further, many continue on to Saut d'Eau waterfall. Purifying waters
descend over a series of shallow pools, formed into mossy shelves.
Vodouists light candles and make prayers to the ancient spirits believed
to dwell in these blessed waters.
RN3 continues North just past the Peligre hydroelectric
damn. Built to provide a source of energy, this damn is now silted and
virtually unused.
Heading further into the Central
Plateau, one reaches
the largest city in the Center, Hinche. Though most of this region is
rather barren and parched, north of the city, Bassin
Zim, a 20m waterfall
provides a refreshing natural swimming pool.
