Tiburon Peninsula

Tiburon Peninsula

The Tiburon Peninsula ("le tiburon" in French), or simply "the Tiburon", is a region of Haiti encompassing all of Haiti's southern coast. It starts roughly at the southernmost of the Haiti-Dominican Republic border and extends westward near Cuba, forming a large headland. Four of Haiti's departments are located entirely within the region. They are the departments of Grand'Anse, Nippes, the Sud, and the Sud-Est. A large part of the Ouest Department is also located in the region, with the capital, Port-au-Prince serving as the bridge between Northern/Central Haiti and the South. The Massif de la Hotte is located in the region in which several endemic species on the island originate.
