Nippes, Department in southwestern Haiti
Nippes extends across 1,268 square kilometers of diverse terrain, encompassing coastal areas along the Gulf of Gonave and mountainous regions in the south.
The department gained its independent administrative status in 2003 when authorities separated it from the Grand'Anse Department to improve regional governance.
Local communities in Nippes maintain traditional fishing practices along the coastline, while inland populations focus on agricultural production and livestock management.
Visitors can reach Nippes via the RN2 national road connecting to Les Cayes, with Miragoâne serving as the primary entry point to the department.
The department contains part of Miragoanes Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in Haiti, supporting local fishing industries and water-based activities.
