80% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Morne de la Selle

Morne de la Selle, located in the Selle mountain range in the southeast of the country, dominates Haiti from its 2,680-meter summit. This imposing massif is a major feature of Haiti's landscape, characterized by a very rugged topography that justifies the island's original name, "Ayiti" meaning "Land of High Mountains". Climbing this peak offers spectacular panoramas and the opportunity to observe unique biodiversity, including endemic pine forests. Managing this ecosystem is crucial for regulating the local climate and protecting the soil from erosion. Although Pic Macaya is also renowned for its biological richness, Morne de la Selle remains the undisputed king of Haitian peaks. Its presence influences rainfall in the West Department, playing a vital role in supplying water to the surrounding plains and the capital.
