Considered one of the prettiest cites in Haiti, Jacmel is situated on a horseshoe bay. During the late 19th century, this charming port city was home to wealthy coffee merchants. Influenced by the gracious mansions of New Orleans, the architecture of the city boasted, cast-iron pillars and balconies purchased in France. Today, many of these homes are now artisan shops that sell vibrant handicrafts, papier-mâché masks and carved-wood animal figures. In recent years, efforts have been made to revitalize the once flourishing cigar and coffee industries. Increased interest in Jacmel is encouraging local nightlife. Yakimo Bar has live bands and dancing.

During the month of February, Jacmel hosts a lively Carnival celebration complete with costumes, parades and dancing in the streets.

Outside of town, along the newly paved road, are some of the South East's most picturesque beaches: Cyvadier, a tiny cove where the water is bioluminescent certain times a year, Raymond-les-Bains, a road-side beach, and Ti Mouillage, where one can rent charming beach houses. Exercise caution in the water, there is a powerful undertow.

 
Jump in you 4WD vehicle and head to Bassin Blue. This series of deep natural pools and waterfalls can be reached by foot or horseback. The last km is somewhat steep, and at one point the aid rope is necessary. Fix a price for the horse and guide before leaving

Jacmel is well worth the 2-3 hour excursion.

In order to gaze on an amazing view of Jacmel and the bay, a 4WD can climb the rugged road past Marigot up into the mountains of Seguin. Climb past lunar shaped-boulders and rolling green hills to reach an excellent auberge in Seguin where you can enjoy marvelous food and good accommodations. There are also healthy, well-kept horses to rent. Make sure to visit Morne La Visite National Park. This mountainous park is home to Pic La Selle, Haiti's tallest mountain at 2,680m.
