Discover the Enchanting Bassin Bleu: A Hidden Gem in Jacmel

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Saint-Marc, head towards the main road (Route Nationale #1) heading south. Walk along this road for approximately 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Route de Saint-Marc. At the intersection, turn left onto Route de Saint-Marc. Continue walking for about 1 kilometer until you reach a bus station. Here, you can catch a local tap-tap (shared taxi) heading to Jacmel. Make sure to tell the driver you are going to Bassin Bleu.

• Tap-Tap

  Once you are on the tap-tap heading to Jacmel, enjoy the scenic ride for about 45 minutes. The driver will drop you off at the main entrance to Jacmel. From here, you can either walk or take another tap-tap to the entrance of Bassin Bleu. If walking, head south towards the coast, passing through the main streets of Jacmel until you reach the sign for Bassin Bleu. If taking a tap-tap, ask the driver to drop you off at the entrance for Bassin Bleu.

• Walking

  After being dropped off near the entrance of Bassin Bleu, you will need to hike approximately 30 minutes through a path surrounded by beautiful nature. Follow the signs to Bassin Bleu and enjoy the lush surroundings as you make your way to the stunning waterfalls and pools. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes suitable for hiking.
