Getting there

Walking

Start at the center of Saint-Marc, near the main market (Marché de Saint-Marc). From the market, head east on Rue du Commerce until you reach the intersection with Rue de la République. Turn left onto Rue de la République and continue straight until you reach the main road (Route Nationale 1). Cross the road carefully and head south towards Port-au-Prince. After walking for about 10-15 minutes, look for public transportation options such as a motorcycle taxi (mototaxi) or a shared tap-tap (minibus) that can take you towards Port-au-Prince. Make sure to confirm with the driver that they are heading towards Bois Verna. Get off at the stop near 2eme Rue du Travail. From there, walk down 2eme Rue du Travail until you arrive at Maison Dufort, located at number 9.

Mototaxi

If you prefer a quicker option, find a nearby mototaxi stand in Saint-Marc, or wave down a mototaxi on the street. Tell the driver you want to go to Maison Dufort in Port-au-Prince. They will take you directly there, but you may need to specify the address: 9 2eme Rue du Travail, Bois Verna. The journey may take about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.

Tap-Tap

Locate the nearest tap-tap station in Saint-Marc. Board a tap-tap that is heading towards Port-au-Prince. Once you arrive in Port-au-Prince, ask the driver to drop you off near Bois Verna. From the drop-off point, walk towards 2eme Rue du Travail. Follow the street until you find Maison Dufort at number 9. This option is budget-friendly but may take longer due to stops along the route.
