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.
Come discover the most exciting Caribbean island!

Ogier Fombrun Museum (Optional) Haiti, or Saint Domingue as the country was then known, was France’s richest colony, in its heyday producing over three quarters of the worlds sugar. The work force employed in this endeavour was provided by the exploitation of slaves brought over from Africa. Eventually, armies of slaves bravely fought to successfully uproot slavery and colonialism, and in 1804 an independent Haiti became the first Black Republic in the world. Habitation Ogier was a sugarcane plantation built in 1760 and later abandoned. It is one of the few plantations to have survived the ravages of time. The ruins fo the former plantation were discovered in 1977 by the architect Gérard Frombrun, who then dedicated himself to restoring the structure. Now completely restored to its former glory, the main building houses the museum, exhibiting authentic historical relics narrating the origins of the Haitian nation. A place of memory and recognition, evoking heroism from times past. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: I INCLUDED: Ground transportation in Tap Tap, English-speaking tour guide, entry fees, fruits, and beverage.

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. We continue 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 citadelle. The ascent is done 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 a local restaurant. *NOTE: Only individuals in reasonable physical health can participate in this activity.

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. We will have the opportunity to participate in one of the oldest traditions from this town which is the handcrafting in paper machÊ, we will be able to use our imagination to create and paint art with this material. 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: II INCLUDED: Ground transportation, English-speaking tour guide, lunch, beverages, snack.

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.

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.

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! *NOTE: Only individuals in reasonable physical health can participate in this activity.

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.
