The Dumond Cave, 5 km from the town via D213 towards Les Cayes, is a must-visit natural wonder for nature lovers.
A Postcard-Worthy Past
In the 1970s-1980s, Port-Salut was the star of postcards. Its bungalows hosted officials stationed there, charmed by the beauty of the place and the warm welcome of the locals. The picturesque road to Tiburon passes through Coteaux, Port-au-Prince, and Chardonnières before reaching Les Anglais.
A Surprising Landscape
The path to Tiburon offers diverse landscapes: greenery, rocky terrain, swamps, and stunning coconut groves bordering gray or black sand beaches. Once famous for its mountain coffee, the region shifted to vetiver cultivation after the closure of the essential oil factories in Les Cayes.
