With its karst plateaus, its gorges and its valleys, its chasms, its caves and its resurgences, the Sud Department is a little paradise for cavers and adventurous hikers.
The canyons and cavities selected for this guide are the best suited for the discovery of this geological heritage diversity.
The proposed caves and canyons have progressive technical levels starting with Grotte Geffrard accessible to all, up to Trou Zombi and its 90-m vertical pit reserved to confirmed cavers.
This guidebook is the culmination of a project of promotion of the caves and canyons of Southern Haiti, implemented by the Unite Technique d’Execution of the Ministry of Economy and Finances and the Ministry of Tourism, with funding from the Inter-American Development Bank.
