Haiti

Toussaint Louverture International Airport (MTPP/PAP)

🇭🇹

Putting aside the negative connotations Haiti has come to be known in recent times, the country is geographically and culturally enriched by its influences of the past and of the present. While earthquake shakes the surface of Haiti, millions of years has brought with it some of the best mountains, as well as mountains in the Caribbean. Not exactly something you’d think of. Not to mention, the influence of the Spanish, Portuguese as well as the native Taino and African ethnic groups bring with it plenty of exotic culture that has been able to amalgamate through the years.
