Saut-d’Eau

Every year from July 14-16 during the festival of Our Lady of Carmel the waterfalls of Saut d’Eau in Haiti’s central mountains are the site of a pilgrimage where Haitians cleanse themselves of the past year and enter into the new one fresh, a Haitian version of New Year.

Taken in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake the festival took on added significance as the nation sought to recover.
