The border town I hope to visit some day is Quanaminthe, I have read it is supposed to be one of the most traveled border towns in Haiti.

It's Ouanaminthe (Juana Mendes to Dominicans) and it is an absolute shithole. The only reason it is much travelled is for the through traffic. No-one goes there for the town itself except for crooks involved in people trafficking, drugs and smuggling, which makes it one of the most dangerous places as well.

It is probably the last place you want to visit in Haiti. Other places have modern civilised zones or decaying fragments of former French Colonial elegance, and rural places might have some primitive charm and traditional culture, but Ouanaminthe has just sprung up on the back of the cross-border trade with miles and miles of cheap block buildings and shanty shacks.

Enjoy!

I have been in the Dominican Republic for about 5 months now, I just want to do something different. I would like to know what is the best place to go on the Border in Haiti.

Caribe Tours I believe has a regular scheduled bus service between Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince, http://caribetours.com.do/index.php/viajes/get_travel

Also flights from Santo Domingo (probably from La Isabela "El Higuero" Airport in Santo Domingo) , www.tortugair.com/ (tortug air) , cost probably $240 round-trip.

Southwest of the DR is the border town Pedernales. Do a search in youtube and there are numerous videos. Haitian-Dominican commerce at that Border. Haitian boats dock close to there to drop off goods bound for the DR and get Dominican goods for Haiti. There are photos of those boats and I believe you can pay to take one as it goes further along the coast of Haiti. I have not made it to Pedernales yet. Also beaches there.

Someone on the Sosua thread posted about how to do it. But you should really pay your $19. 95 so you can send and receive PMs.

Thanks, do you have any contact info? I did see a post about this hotel being destroyed.

The managers name is Juldasse and his number is 011 509 3 400 6676 his English is not great but if you speak slowly he will understand.

The main part of the hotel was destroyed but there are three more buildings left on the property where they rent rooms and apartments.

Can anyone recommend a decent Hotel for November stay in PP? Thanks.

I would reccomend the Villa Imperial Hotel at 42 Delmas because;

A great location, you are in the center of a lot of action, short ride to petionville, most people know where it is.

10 to 15 minutes from the airport

Prices, rooms range from $45 to $60 per night

They have hot water.

Internet.

Electricity 24 hours a day.

And a swimming pool

Rumors are just that. Rumors.

. And in lieu of any other news, they seem to be all we hear.

I've heard ugly rumors but does anyone have the truth about our Brother Bear?
