Jacmel

Jacmel is located about 4 hours south of Port-au-Prince. It is known as an old coffee export port and the friendliest area of Haiti. Although the export trade ended after World War II, the history, creativity and art in Jacmel have set city apart. The surrounding trees, jungles, mountains and the shores of the ocean make it one of the most beautiful cities in Haiti. 

However, all this beauty is deeply contrasted by the depths of poverty. The natural disasters of that constantly plague the country have diminished the potential of this city. Poverty is prominent among the villagers and food, supplies, and jobs are constantly hard to obtain, if at all available.
