To present the caves of Haiti to a wider, international, outdoor-sport oriented audience, the Ministry of Tourism charged Vladimir Cellier (Baraka Flims) to produce a short movie.
Known for its offbeat humour, and striking music creations, the film director immersed himself in Haiti for 3 weeks in duo with Julien Nadiras (camera).
The result is unexpected.

The film was aimed at being presented in festivals, and the public was either enthousiast, or baffled. It is now available for viewers on the internet.

We advise you to watch it on a big screen with a good sound system

please switch on english subtitles

With its karst plateaus, its gorges and its valleys, its chasms, its caves and its resurgences, the Sud Department is a little paradise for cavers and adventurous hikers.
The canyons and cavities selected for this guide are the best suited for the discovery of this geological heritage diversity.
The proposed caves and canyons have progressive technical levels starting with Grotte Geffrard accessible to all, up to Trou Zombi and its 90-m vertical pit reserved to confirmed cavers.
This guidebook is the culmination of a project of promotion of the caves and canyons of Southern Haiti, implemented by the Unite Technique d’Execution of the Ministry of Economy and Finances and the Ministry of Tourism, with funding from the Inter-American Development Bank.
