A unique and diverse geography
With a length of approximately 650 kilometers, Haïti is distinguished by a complex geography that mixes mountains, valleys and plains. Located in the Caribbean, this country has a varied topography, and its elongated shape contributes to its contrasting landscapes.
The main geographical axes include:
- The Selle range, which extends from the southeast to the west and is home to the Pic la Selle, the highest point in Haïti at 2,680 meters.
- Coastal plains, such as the Artibonite, which are essential for agriculture.
- The northwestern and southern peninsulas, which give the country its characteristic shape.
These geographical features influence both the climate and the distribution of economic and social activities.
