- Driving to Jacmel: Google maps shows a road connecting Petionville to Jacmel. Is it passable by car? Most say no - but there is a rumor that a few have done it. So I went up into the mountains to see how far I could get.

I have done that hike all the way to seguin and it was a beautiful experience. great video and cool glasses too!
Thanks bro! We gotta do the hike together.
I would love to visit Haiti it as a very unique culture and landscape very unlike the rest of the Caribbean.
Thank you for this video! I really wanted to know what the road looked like because every time I ask why we can't use it people just tell me "wout la pa bon". That was a really cool trip!
That’s exactly why I went up there. I needed to see what wout la pa bon actually means 🤣. It’s so beautiful up there!
WOW Luke! This brings back many memories of a couple weekends at the Lodge and driving up to look at the road to Jacmel. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Next time you come down, we should dig out that four wheeler in the shop and get her going.
You’re very brave💀 as someone that lives in these hills I wouldn’t try that😂
It was a lot of fun!
Really enjoyed the adventure. Needed the escape this afternoon thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your presence is putting the natives at risk. Please think of the risks.
The fact that you’re not wearing a seatbelt prove that you’re half Haitian
🤣🤣👊🏼
😂 absolutely right!
Haitian never buckle up
very nice review
Very cool
You are handsome 🎉
Did you at least made it to seguin? The map doesn’t really show.
No, I did not. I think if you were coming from the Jacmel side, you could do it.
Ok thanks. I rechecked the map I see your stop was in Ouest department , so I figured you didn’t make it to sequin since it’s in the Sud Est Department.
@@simplymilouse2410 Yes. I think the space between where I stopped and Seguin is the most difficult terrain in terms of using a normal vehicle.
Wow beautiful videyo. They need to stop putting blocks rocks on the road
Good job
That sketchy road SCARED me.
Me too!
Awesome vlog thanks for sharing
I miss home so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
I and some other CW Ms did it years ago from the south on motorcycles. We got arrested in a small town along the way. They thought we were “camoquins”-guérillas who were going in to overthrow the government! They finally came to believe we were not, and let us go.
Oh my goodness this is hilarious.
And also camoquins we’re literally white guérilla hired by our former dictator to haunt and kill opposition ppl, critic of his regime. I used to be scared of white folks cause I’ve heard stories.
What conserned you the most , the road or your personal safety ? A white man 's safety in Haiti is a bit dicey at best ? Or am I wrong on that ? God bless you , stay safe !
Haitians are very generous and welcoming to foreigners. I have learned a lot from them!
You make me nervous. So, I am going to stop looking. Let me know if you made it all the way.
No ma’am, I had to turn around. But I had some beautiful views!
I wouldn't dare try that.... geez!!
It was so fun!
Yes you need a Polaris
Yes!
Great video! Do you happen to know anything about the hotel called Servotel in Port-Au-Prince? Is it safe to stay there? I see that its close to airport.
Servotel has a great reputation. It’s the closest hotel to the airport - right across the street.
Servotel is right by the airport. 2 minutes
The Hills looks so barran.
There used to be a lot more trees here!
My family and I did it from Port au prince to petit goave.
Man, I wanna take that drive AND that hike!
😮 😍😍wow
It's 68 degree in May? Wow
It’s unreal. I love it.
There is a 3rd road in fact, but it is no better because of the Mawozo gang.
Where does it pass?
3 more in fact 3. Pap-crx des bouquets, ganthier,, fd-verrettes, thiote, belle-anse, marigot, cayes-jacmel, Jacmel; 4. carrefour-fauche, gerard, trouin and Jacmel; 5. carrefour 44, cotes de fer, bainet, Jacmel; none are practical now. I'll be glad to meet you.
@@gmicg So sad that there are no safe ways to get there by car at present!
@@PerksOnMission In the seventies the Jacmel people lobbied against the Furcy road fearing to become an annex of Port-au-Prince. President Préval wanted to build the road to Jacmel for 80 million usd. Between the capital and Kenscoff you have 21km, between Kenscoff and Marigot you have 41 km and between Marigot and Jacmel you have 24 km, giving you a total of 86 km, 6 more than the 80 km distance provided by the main road built in 1976. If you use a Polaris or a 4-wheel moto, you can easily reach Seguin. Thanks for the fruitful exchange.
@@gmicg Perhaps the people of Jacmel were wise after all. I imagine that ride on a polaris must be beautiful. Such a beautiful country.
