Mont de la Selle, Mountain summit in Haiti
Mont de la Selle is a mountain summit located in the southwestern region of Haiti as part of the Massif de la Selle range. The peak displays different geological structures made of limestone and sandstone formations.
The summit formed through tectonic activity between the North American and Caribbean plates. This geological movement created the diverse rock structures visible on the mountain today.
The mountain holds deep meaning in Haitian traditions, with local communities preserving stories and knowledge about this place across generations. People view it as an important part of their identity and connection to the land.
Visiting the mountain requires engaging local guides and obtaining proper permits beforehand. The town of Jacmel serves as the main base for organizing hikes to the summit.
The mountain captures moisture from the Caribbean Sea and supports numerous plant and animal species found nowhere else. This biodiversity makes it a crucial area for nature in the region.
