THE CORRECT ANSWER: 360 km
The land border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic extends for approximately 360 kilometers, running from the north to the south of the island of Hispaniola. This complex route was definitively fixed by the Treaty of Limits of 1929 and revised by the agreement of 1936.Geographically, this dividing line crosses extremely varied landscapes, including areas of alluvial plains, steep mountain ranges and watercourses such as the Artibonite River or the Massacre River. This border is not only a political limit, but a major ecological and human transition zone.Its management represents a constant challenge due to the rugged terrain which makes certain segments difficult to access for the authorities. The precision of this measurement is essential for understanding territorial integrity and national sovereignty issues in the context of binational cooperation and control of shared natural resources.
