Jacmel trip planner

Sitting sheltered from the elements in a wide bay, Jacmel has gained a reputation as a welcoming and peaceful coastal town. French colonial architecture represents one of the main attractions in Jacmel, with well-preserved mansions, built by wealthy coffee merchants in the 19th century, setting the tone in the gracefully aged downtown area. The traditional art scene in Jacmel remains one of the main reasons to visit, with handicrafts, hand-painted souvenirs, and papier-mache Carnival masks made in a number of workshops and sold at artisanal markets in town. Our Haiti vacation planner allows you to schedule your trip to Jacmel, learn about its attractions, and find out about where else to go during your holiday.
