Île-à-Vache, Haiti's Hidden Paradise

- This is Île-à-Vache (Spanish: Isla Vaca; English: Cow Island) one of Haiti's hidden jewels. It lies in the Baie de Cayes about 6.5 miles off the coast of the country's southwest peninsula, roughly between the City of Les Cayes and Pointe l'Abacou. With its sugar-white beaches, verdant mountains and valleys brimming with tropical vegetation, this beautiful island is considered one of the most peaceful and romantic get-aways in the Caribbean.
With a population of approximately 20,000 people and an untouched ecosystem, Ile-à-Vâche remains one of the rare havens that (so far) does not accommodate cars or other four-wheel motorized vehicles. At a mere 30 minutes ferry ride from the port of Les Cayes, its character hasn’t changed over the years.
The island's modern history goes back to the discovery of Hispaniola in 1492, when it was first known to be Spanish territory, until it was turned to the French after the Ryswick Treaty of 1687 that ended a war between France and Spain. Over the two centuries, it was a place for both Spanish settlers and later the French buccaneers to safely raise their cattles, thus its name Isla Vaca (Spanish) or Ile-à-Vâche in French.
In 1697, the island of Hispaniola was formally divided between Spain and France in the Treaty of Ryswick which ended the Nine Years War. France assumed control of the western half of Hispaniola and named it Saint-Domingue, which later became "The Republic Haiti", the world's first black nation to gain its independence by successfully revolting against French colonization and slavery in 1804.
