Kounoubwa Cave

Kounoubwa Cave, one of the most impressive caves in Haiti, is an enormous underground hole and a pilgrimage place, located 30 minutes by foot from Camp-Perrin. Several chambers can be visited, and several routes are hidden for the most daring (to be explored with the guide). It's a speleological atmosphere!

The entrance to Kounoubwa is lined with a variety of bushy trees, adding to the natural beauty of the area. It's difficult to get into the cave. Stalactites and stalagmites abound throughout the cave. The movement of water through inorganic material results in the formation of these mineral deposits. As a result, the entrance is slick. The water continues to flow unabated, sculpting additional images in the cave. As a result, tourists and guides have the option of naming them. The church and the statue of St. Christophe, as well as figures shaped like snakes and horses, are examples.

There is also a big stone called Maître Carrefour that marks the monument's departure. The Ministry of Tourism has agreed to conduct significant work, according to the senior guide. The website is more than just a place to have fun. It is also a pilgrimage site. The cave hosts vodou rites on a regular basis, and it is a hallowed site for many of Camp-houngans. Perrin's Kounoubwa, which was discovered more than half a century ago, is a mystery. Students from the Brothers of Christian Instruction led the first visit. On March 7, 1952, 52 students visited the cave and proceeded to examine the undiscovered monument. It has been visited on a frequent basis since then. The Southern Department, like the North and Southeast Departments, is attracting an increasing number of visitors. This helps to explain why this site's traffic is increasing.
