2/10

Conditions may be quieter than the capital region, but nationwide kidnapping and violent-crime risks, insecure roads, and very limited emergency support require exceptional caution.

1/10

Jacmel lies near active faults and directly on a storm-exposed coast. Earthquakes, hurricanes, storm surge, flash floods, and landslides can severely isolate the city.
