THE CORRECT ANSWER: Southeast

The city of Jacmel is the capital of the Southeast department of Haiti. Founded at the end of the 17th century, in 1698, under French colonization, it occupies a strategic coastal position bordered by the Caribbean Sea. Its geographical location has shaped its maritime history, its commercial development in the 19th century thanks to the coffee trade, as well as its unique cultural identity. Nestled between the mountains of the Selle chain and the maritime coastline, Jacmel acts as the economic, administrative and tourist engine of the entire South-East region. The city also serves as a crossing point to access several major surrounding natural sites, such as the famous Bassin-Bleu basins. Its status as departmental capital reinforces its importance among local populations and visitors to the country.
