Sud-Est, Administrative department in Haiti
The Sud-Est department covers 2,023 square kilometers of Haiti's territory, encompassing mountains, coastal areas, and agricultural lands with Jacmel as its capital.
The department emerged as a crucial administrative region following Haiti's independence in 1804, maintaining its position as one of the country's ten primary divisions.
The Carnival of Jacmel brings together thousands of participants who display handmade masks and papier-mâché creations through the streets of the department.
Three main districts form the department's structure: Bainet, Belle-Anse, and Jacmel, connected by a network of roads facilitating regional transportation.
Local farmers in Belle-Anse and Thiotte implement climate-resistant agricultural methods while maintaining traditional cultivation practices in mountainous terrain.
