Haiti and the Dominican Republic together make up the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. Yet while the Dominican Republic is firmly established as a sunseekers' paradise, Haiti is one of the world's least explored countries. The Bradt guide enables visitors to the Dominican Republic to make the most of their trip, exploring with confidence the highest mountains in the West Indies and the oldest city in the New World. For the more adventurous, a journey west across the border to Haiti reveals a beautiful country held back in time, steeped in voodoo and colorful traditions, and with a friendly welcome that cannot fail to attract.
