Decameron Explorer Haiti, The Pearl of the Caribbean Sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, Haiti is a captivating and
mysterious country located in the heart of the Caribbean. French and Creole are the two official languages but, given the outside influences from nearby countries, English and Spanish are
widely spoken. Since 400 years back, Haiti has been known as The Pearl of the Caribbean. It is
also, famously, the first European colony ever to gain independence with the rebellion of former slave Toussaint-Louverture. This uprising set in motion the eradication of slavery, not only in Haiti, but subsequently in all former colonised nations. Through the hardship of recent
years, the island is actively striving to regain its place in the sun as a fa-vourite tourist destination for the foreign traveler. In no small part, this is accomplished through the warmth
and hospitality of the Haitians themselves, but the island has a lot more than that going for it. He-re, African roots mix with Colonial influences, French je ne sais quoi and modern Latin
American accents to create a extravagantly dynamic historic and cultural heritage. Haiti is a
country of sun, virgin beaches and turquoise tropical waters. But Haiti also exhibits a vibrant
cultural amalgam - as expressed in the irre-sistible musical fusion and world-renowned art scene, as well as colourful religious syncretism. Sugarcane production is a mainstay of the
Haitian economy and the Barbancourt Distillery produces some of the most sought-after rum varieties in the world. Some of the best reefs in the Caribbean are located but a short distance
from the pristinely lush coastline - for all the avid snorkelling and diving aficionados to
explore. In short, Haiti is a place where you can totally immerse in adventure or just kick back and relax - a true tropical treasure island.

Haiti Rum Route – La Plaine du Cul de Sac The farming of sugarcane and it’s by-products, is intrinsically linked to
the history and culture of Haiti. The Barbancourt Rum Distillery in Damien, having been established in 1862, is one of Haiti’s oldest
companies and the rum produced here is widely regarded as one of the best in the world. The visit of the installations includes a tasting of fine rum. (In season November-June.) The Sugarcane Museum in Tabarre
offers an in-depth insight into the processing of this popular plant throughout the centuries. There are also several other museum pavilions dedicated to Haitian history and musical heritage. Lunch is
served at “Le Relai de Chateaublond” and is accompanied by a tasting of so-called “trempés” - white rum, infused with fragrant leaves, fruits or roots, purported to have multiple health benefits. At the Noailles

Historic Haiti – Sans Souci & Citadelle Henry The mountaintop fortress of Citadelle Henry, in northern Haiti, is the largest fortress in the Western Hemisphere and arguably the country’s most important historic site. Officially called The National History Park
Citadelle, Sans Souci, Ramier, 20,000 workers laboured in its
construction between the years 1806 and 1820, during the reign of Henry Christophe - an influential leader of the successful slave rebellion that led to independence from France, who later became the
self-appointed king of the northern region of new state of Haiti. In order to visit this icon of Haitian independence and UNESCO World
Heritage Site, we need to board a plane at the Port-au-Prince Airport headed for Cap-Haïtien. After a 25 min. flight, we continue by bus on
to Milot where we visit the circular Our Lady of the Immaculate
Conception Church and the ruins of the Sans Souci Royal Palace, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The journey continues up a steep
mountain road towards the looming citadel. The ascent can be done on
foot (about 45 min. trek) or on horseback (about 30 min. with a horse attendant’s assistance). The massively grand Citadelle was built to
house 5,000 people and exhibits an impressive collection of canons from the 18th and 19th centuries. From the high point of the fortress,
the view of the surrounding landscape is endless - in fact, it reaches all the way to the neighbouring Dominican Republic. We descend the
same way we came up, upon which lunch is served in the Lakou Lakay Cultural Center. The return flight takes us back to Port-au-Prince and bus transfer to the Hotel.

Jacmel & Bassin Bleu Jacmel, a town that lies nested in a stunning bay along the distant Caribbean coastline, is a place where past and present seem to
harmoniously mesh. The town has played an important role in the
country’s history, but it is also the cradle of poets, musicians, artists, painters, novelists and intellectuals. Bassin Bleu (Blue Lagoon), lies
about 40 minutes driving distance from Jacmel, along a road that offers
splendid views of the bay and the town. From Grand-Fond, we continue on foot for about 15 minutes, before arriving at the Bassin Bleu
waterfall. The cascading waters form three lagoons, of which BassinClair (Clear Lagoon) is the most spectacular, but also the most difficult
to reach - it is necessary to climb up a small ladder and climb down the other side with the help of a rope. The reward: an unforgettable plunge into the blue waters of the lagoon. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: III

Marchand Dessalines It is known as the First Black Capital of the New World. Marchand
Dessalines was the first town founded after the Haitian declaration of
independence in 1804. The attraction in this town is a network of
fortifications, built for defensive as well as offensive purposes. In total,
there are six forts: Culbuté, Décidé, Doko, Madame, Innocent and Fin du
Monde, the “End of The Wold” fort, so-called because of its location on the highest point of the hill, giving the impression that the entire world
lies at its feet. Scattered across the town of Marchand Dessalines are sites of historical importance and pretty houses that used to belong to
famous players in Haiti’s history, e.g. the tile-roofed house of MarieClaire Heureuse Félicité (the Emperor’s spouse), the house of Charlotin
Marcadieu, the graves of General Brutus, Colonel Gabart and Benoît Batraville, as well as the remains of Dessalines’ house and several
caverns and pools of water.

The Cool Mountains of Kenscoff Located about a 90 minute drive from the Hotel, we arrive to Pétionville, a residential municipality, within the greater Port-au-Prince area, at an altitude of 400m/1,300ft above sea level. Since the earthquake in 2010,
this part of town has become the heart of all upscale commercial activity in the capital. Brief stop at a local supermarket, where purchase of local
products and access to ATM is available. Once back on the road, the trip will take us higher and higher on scenic mountains roads, through the
newly developed areas of Pélérin (alt. 550m/1,800ft), Laboule (alt.
900m/2,950ft) and Thomassaint (alt. 1.200m/3,900ft), before arriving at the Baptist Haiti Mission’s crafts center and historical museum (alt. 1.300m/4,250ft) in Fermathe. After a short stop, we continue on to
Kenscoff (alt. 1.500m/4,900ft). Due to a unique micro-climate, this
region is where most of the produce consumed in the capital of Portau-Prince is farmed, and the surrounding hills exhibit the typical
terraces of altitude farming. The ascent continues, finally reaching Morne Tranchant (alt. 1.850m/6,000ft), from where (weather permitting)
we can take in the spectacular views of Haiti’s highest peaks in the La
Selle (2.600m/8,530ft) and Parc La Visite (2.300m/7,500ft) mountain
ranges. Here, a guided visit of the Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve will
take us on a walk through shaded mountain trails to discover the variety of local and endemic species cultivated in a greenhouse experimental
setting. With a little bit of luck, we will also discover some of the endemic and migratory bird species that nest in this area. A vegetarian
picnic lunch, prepared with locally-grown, seasonal produce, will be
served in the pleasant Wynne residence bamboo garden, while we have
the opportunity to learn more about the mountain way-of-life and the ecological challenges faced by the locals.

Trekking – Piat Source & Watercress Fields The trek starts in the village of Délugé, not far from the Hotel. Initially,
the trail follows the banks of the Délugé River, before taking us
through some traditional and inaccessible countryside villages, where we have the opportunity to interact with and get to know the local
residents closer. The flora and fauna of this valley is abundant and diverse, as the river waters gush from the mountains and create a
virtual oasis of green amidst the bare mountains. Eventually, having taken some breaks along the way, we arrive at the Piat Source at
900m/2,950ft of altitude. Here is where they farm watercress. The reward of the walk is a refreshing dip in one of the natural pools, surrounded by watercress fields, while savouring exotic fruits - a
uniquely invigorating experience! We return to the Hotel by 4x4 vehicle, using a more accessible road than on the ascent, and arrive just in time for lunch! The tour may also be inverted, with the ascent in a 4x4 vehicle and the descent on foot (LEVEL II)

Saut D’eau – Ville Bonheur Waterfalls & Lake Péligre We depart inland, stopping on our way in Mirebalais for a short visit,
before arriving at Lake Péligre with its beautiful, blue waters set among steep, arid mountains. This man-made lake captures the waters of the
Artibonite River for irrigation of the surrounding plains and production of hydro-electric power. We then continue along the river until
reaching Saut d’Eau - Ville Bonheur. This location exemplifies the blending of religious practices, namely Catholic and Voodoo, unique to
Haiti. Believers state that the Virgin Mary appeared here in 1848 and
since that day the town and the waterfalls attract devout disciples of
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Patron Saint of the town and Erzulie the
voodoo goddess of love. Pilgrims for all over Haiti and the world regularly come to worship here. Believers claim that immersion in the
waterfalls bring good luck, and visitors are welcome to get in and get wet. Lunch is served at a nearby location. On the way back to the Hotel, the road passes through a wide variety of tropical mango plantations.

Voodoo Ceremony The word voodoo designates a comprehensive mĂŠlange of beliefs and
rituals of African origins. Voodoo is a rich and misunderstood religion
of harmony between the living being and his/her surroundings. The fundamental aspect of the religion of voodoo, is its influence in the
social life of the believers, especially in the peasant community. It is
through voodoo that basic notions of life, society, harmony with nature, medicinal plants and culture in general are transmitted to the
younger generations of Haitians. In the Haitian countryside, voodoo goes hand-in-hand with the imaginary and life in general. It is the vital
force that underlies all Haitian art forms - be it painting, story-telling or music. You are invited the enter this mystical universe and witness some traditional voodoo rituals in a visually dazzling and musically mesmerising show.

Haiti is, of course, located in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, and surrounded by world class dive spots. It stands to reason, therefore, that Haiti would provide similar turquoise blue and warm conditions, with a visibility often exceeding 33m/100ft.
There are pristine and colourful coral reefs a few miles offshore and these can be reached by boat. In Haiti’s tropical waters you will still see schools of a variety of tropical fish, moray eels, crabs, lobsters and the occasional spotted eagle ray, stingray,
barracuda and reef shark. Haiti is also home to some of the largest elephant ear sponges in the world, as well as rare black coral - healthy reefs which have surprisingly eluded the coral bleaching that has affected other areas in the Caribbean. Given its
extensive and nearly virgin coastline, one could spend years here searching out unchartered territory to explore underwater. With sites like the Zombie Hole, the many wrecks from modern and distant eras and the variety of marine life, Haiti is a water sports destination that is worth the trip. It is plain to see, that there are mysteries to behold beneath the waves of Haiti. *NOTE FOR ALL WATERSPORTS ACTIVITIES: Only individuals in reasonable physical health can participate in this activity. Pregnant women and clients under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicants are not allowed to partake in this activity.
