Haiti - Marie-Jeanne Caves
With a length of 2.5 miles, the Marie-Jeanne Caves are the longest known networks of caves in Haiti - they
are believed to be the longest in all of the Caribbean, with over 30 chambers to be explored. The limestone
and silica walls within the cave are adorned with hieroglyphic symbols and markings, dating back to pre-
Columbian days. If you plan on visiting the Marie-Jeanne cave system in Port-à-Piment, don’t forget to bring
essential items such as a flashlight with extra batteries to spare and plenty of water.
Never adventure into the caves without a guide.
