Local know-how

Staying safe

  • Since the assassination of its president in 2021, Haiti has once again devolved into complete lawlessness.
  • Do not unnecessarily carry valuables or more cash than needed, or walk late at night in dark streets.

Staying healthy

  • Sanitary conditions in Haiti are poor and medical care is woefully inadequate. If you get ill or injured whilst in Haiti, you may need to leave or be evacuated.
  • Tap water should be avoided.
  • Various mosquito-borne diseases are a concern in Haiti, and precautions against mosquitoes are strongly recommended.
  • Depending on your itinerary, you may have to walk a lot. Comfortable footwear is crucial for avoiding blisters. Hiking boots are recommended as well as comfortable sandals.
