WOW Luke! This brings back many memories of a couple weekends at the Lodge and driving up to look at the road to Jacmel. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thank you for this video! I really wanted to know what the road looked like because every time I ask why we can't use it people just tell me "wout la pa bon". That was a really cool trip!
I and some other CW Ms did it years ago from the south on motorcycles. We got arrested in a small town along the way. They thought we were “camoquins”-guérillas who were going in to overthrow the government! They finally came to believe we were not, and let us go.
And also camoquins we’re literally white guérilla hired by our former dictator to haunt and kill opposition ppl, critic of his regime. I used to be scared of white folks cause I’ve heard stories.
Great video! Do you happen to know anything about the hotel called Servotel in Port-Au-Prince? Is it safe to stay there? I see that its close to airport.
Ok thanks. I rechecked the map I see your stop was in Ouest department , so I figured you didn’t make it to sequin since it’s in the Sud Est Department.
What conserned you the most , the road or your personal safety ? A white man 's safety in Haiti is a bit dicey at best ? Or am I wrong on that ? God bless you , stay safe !

@@PerksOnMission In the seventies the Jacmel people lobbied against the Furcy road fearing to become an annex of Port-au-Prince. President Préval wanted to build the road to Jacmel for 80 million usd. Between the capital and Kenscoff you have 21km, between Kenscoff and Marigot you have 41 km and between Marigot and Jacmel you have 24 km, giving you a total of 86 km, 6 more than the 80 km distance provided by the main road built in 1976. If you use a Polaris or a 4-wheel moto, you can easily reach Seguin. Thanks for the fruitful exchange.
This is as far as I got in the car:

I have done that hike all the way to seguin and it was a beautiful experience. great video and cool glasses too!
Thanks bro! We gotta do the hike together.

Next time you come down, we should dig out that four wheeler in the shop and get her going.
Really enjoyed the adventure. Needed the escape this afternoon thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s exactly why I went up there. I needed to see what wout la pa bon actually means 🤣. It’s so beautiful up there!
I would love to visit Haiti it as a very unique culture and landscape very unlike the rest of the Caribbean.
Awesome vlog thanks for sharing
I miss home so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re very brave💀 as someone that lives in these hills I wouldn’t try that😂
It was a lot of fun!
Very cool
very nice review
Man, I wanna take that drive AND that hike!
My family and I did it from Port au prince to petit goave.
Wow beautiful videyo. They need to stop putting blocks rocks on the road
Good job
I wouldn't dare try that.... geez!!
It was so fun!
You are handsome 🎉
That sketchy road SCARED me.
Me too!
😮 😍😍wow

Oh my goodness this is hilarious.

The Hills looks so barran.
There used to be a lot more trees here!
Great video! Do you happen to know anything about the hotel called Servotel in Port-Au-Prince? Is it safe to stay there? I see that its close to airport.
Servotel has a great reputation. It’s the closest hotel to the airport - right across the street.
Servotel is right by the airport. 2 minutes
Yes you need a Polaris
Yes!
It's 68 degree in May? Wow
It’s unreal. I love it.
Did you at least made it to seguin? The map doesn’t really show.
No, I did not. I think if you were coming from the Jacmel side, you could do it.
Ok thanks. I rechecked the map I see your stop was in Ouest department , so I figured you didn’t make it to sequin since it’s in the Sud Est Department.
@@simplymilouse2410 Yes. I think the space between where I stopped and Seguin is the most difficult terrain in terms of using a normal vehicle.
What conserned you the most , the road or your personal safety ? A white man 's safety in Haiti is a bit dicey at best ? Or am I wrong on that ? God bless you , stay safe !
Haitians are very generous and welcoming to foreigners. I have learned a lot from them!
The fact that you’re not wearing a seatbelt prove that you’re half Haitian
🤣🤣👊🏼
😂 absolutely right!
Haitian never buckle up
There is a 3rd road in fact, but it is no better because of the Mawozo gang.
Where does it pass?

@@gmicg So sad that there are no safe ways to get there by car at present!

@@gmicg Perhaps the people of Jacmel were wise after all. I imagine that ride on a polaris must be beautiful. Such a beautiful country.
You make me nervous. So, I am going to stop looking. Let me know if you made it all the way.
No ma’am, I had to turn around. But I had some beautiful views!
Your presence is putting the natives at risk. Please think of the risks.
