Haiti’s cli­mate is either trop­i­cal or arid, depend­ing upon the region of the coun­try that you visit. While most of the coun­try is what you would expect from an island close to the Equa­tor, there are areas in the east that are semi­arid and desert like where the moun­tains cut off trade winds.

If your team is trav­el­ing west to Cayes,Cambry or Jere­mie you will expe­ri­ence the beauty of a trop­i­cal, moun­tain­ous par­adise. Should your travel be to the north in Gonaives, your expe­ri­ence will be more of the dry desert plains with a beau­ti­ful back­drop of the mountains.
