Hey Guys
I wanted to add a couple of more pictures of present day haiti, this is the central region the outskirts outside of port au prince. Its a lot more different than the two major cities in haiti.

Central Haiti

Village of Baradaires


River towards Baradaires


Local Haitian Ship Being Built along the River


River towards Baradaires pt 2


Baradaires central market. This is pretty much a rural village set up with a central market place near the cathedral.


Monstrouis, Haiti
Mountain after Mountain (The taino indians were definitely right giving haiti its name. Ayiti - land of mountains, I would lie if i said I can't find a mountain in haiti.



Southern Haiti
Is a bit more lush and filled with a lot of small and quaint towns.

Grand Goave Coast Line


Grand Goave Scenery


Baraderes River


Baraderes River pt 2


Southern Coastline pt 1


Southern Coastline pt 2


Tap Tap Bus heading somewhere in the south coast


Beach in Petit Goave (Pretty much a fishing village)


I love the cows in this picture, this is the traffic you find in rural areas


Roseaux (Rural town in the south)


Pestel (Rural town streets)

Pestel's Surroundings



I am leaving out Jeremie, Jacmel, Les Cayes which are lovely cities in the south, but they will need their own threads but this is where I would like to visit in Les Cayes, as a preview of the three major cities in the south.

Alright, i think I am done with the rural villages which i love due to their surroundings and simple life. I will try to get my pictures of Jacmel, from last year. But for all of those who want to open your eyes, this is another side of haiti. Also, please show some pictures of the rural DR, or the simple towns. Not the santiago or santo domingo, but something rural and beautiful with its simplicity. P.S. Something like samana is good too, I was there earlier this year, I loved that place due its remote location and sense of the real DR as opposed to the tourist version of DR.

um do you ever visit d.t rather than just ocasionally? yumnuk posts many pictures of the dominican republic! look up places to visit and you will see plenty!

RE: How is living in Haiti?
Mirabueno, I used to visit this site a lot back in the day. When GouletColonial, Dreadlocks, JabaoHaitiano, JemeSouviens, Lautaro, and Cibaeno made up a majority of the posts. Due to some back and forth trash talking from both sides, I felt it was better to save my remaining brain cells and start reading books. In terms of DR, I would prefer to look at the campos and the rural villages. Im not a big fan of Santo Domingo or the other big cities, which this site has a lot of pictures of. I would like to see the villages or campos of DR with culture and nature.

Lol, civilizing, I hope, i realized that island called hispaniola breeds a lot of hot tempered people. I would only hope they get civilized, but after reading some posts, I realized that there's still room for an improvement. Im sure eventually when both countries climb out of the 3rd world country status, there will be civilized. That is the day I hope I get to see, where haitians and dominicans are on the same platform of success, and looking to dominate the Carribean. I can't lie there are things about both countries I like. From the lovely bay of Jacmel, to the mountain town of Jarabacoa. They are similar yet different all at once, lol. Anyways, who are you Blutarsky, is this the old GouletColonial, Jabao, etc?

Are those rivers safe to swim in? I didn't see fast flowing waters. In the cibao area the rivers are crystal clear

Thanks for the great insight into the hidden jewels that your country has to offer to its people and the world. The visuals are very stimulating and you can only imagine how these places can be used for the betterment of Haiti. The church in Baradaires gives us a pretty good idea to visualize a central park or plaza in front of it with nice big trees and gardens, as well as replicas of colonial buildings that could be used for shops, restaurants and boutique hotels. The sorrounding green hills could be best utilized for ecotourism tours and adventures. The southern coast seems to be a great place to relaunch your tourism industry, hopefully with environmental sustainability in mind.
