Chaîne de la Selle, Ouest Department, near Parc National La Visite · Haiti
Pic la Selle
Pic la Selle, Haiti's highest summit, rises above the Chaîne de la Selle south-east of Port-au-Prince, its upper slopes cloaked in pine forest and home to one of the Caribbean's few breeding colonies of the endangered black-capped petrel. No formal trail leads to the top; the mountain has historically been considered too remote and unglamorous for mountaineers and too difficult for casual visitors, and it is generally approached cross-country from the Seguin plateau within Parc National La Visite. Its exact elevation remains unsettled between sources — long-standing ornithological literature cites roughly 2,574 m, while Haiti National Trust and modern mapping put it closer to 2,679 m. Reaching the peak today requires a local guide, time, and up-to-date awareness of conditions on the ground.
