Laferriere Citadel

Absolutely fenomenal! Getting there from Cap-Haitien is a mix of cAr, motorcycle and horseback. Alternatively you can walk. Either way, the views at the top are simply astonishing and worth every calorie spent getting there. Truly amazing!

Beautiful piece of History It's a much go U can take a horse ride to climb. Be aware that they will want tips Have change on you. They are a bunch of locals selling stuff... They can be a bit insistant, though

The Citadelle Laferrière is one of the most remarkable fortress in the Americas and was built over 200 years ago in fear of a second French invasion. You can scale it on foot for free from the small village of Milot which takes between 1-2 hours depending on your level of fitness. Alternatively you can charter a mule or whizz up and down with a moped rider for the most part of it for $10 US (including reasonable waiting time). If you arrive on Tuesday you can experience a number of unforgettable voodoo ceremonies en route.

As a Haitian born in the US, this was the first time I came to Cap-Haiti. This was the best experience I've ever had. I learned so much! Can't wait to go again.

The 4 mile hike up is definitely worth it to learn about this historic fortress the Haitians built by hand to guard their land!! The scenes are beautiful from 3000 ft above sea level!! The hike isn't easy but I promise it's worth every drop of sweat!!

This is one of the best places to visit in Haiti. The view alone from the Citadel is amazing. Truely breathtaking. Though getting up there was an adventure in itself, it was so worth it! There are parts of the place that is dangerous to enter of course. (It was built in the 1800s.) But we still got a very thorough tour of the Citadel and have lots of memories and pictures to last us a lifetime. Loved it here! Highly recommend!!

The biggest monument in Haiti, built by King Henry Christophe, in the 19th century. It's so amazing, wonderful, incredible, magic. There's no complete word to describe it. People always ask a lot of questions about it, like: how did the build it? How did they get the top of this high mountain with water, materials? How many men did this? Who was the engineer? Who was the architect? Where did they study before? That's so great.. so if you are in the North of Haiti, come to Milot, in jump up to the Citadelle Laferrière.

A beautiful historical place in Haiti. The people and land are just beautiful. You can feel yourself going back in time. We had to take horses up to the Citedal. You can also choose to take the motor bikes to go up. My horse ended up being old and had a hard time making the last of the climb. The people bombard you in trying to sell you trinkets and souvenirs, which I would have bought it I had the money. There were so many beautiful artistic stuff there. The locals also preferred American money and many spoke English. They like to hustle do just be careful when it comes to negotiating prices.
