11 Visit the Jubilee Voodoo Monument

According to legend, Catholic missionaries built a giant stone cross on a hill east of Port au Paix, dedicating the land to Jesus. Some time later, lightning struck the cross, causing the top part to break off and tumble down the hillside. The locals praised this as a sign their own gods had reclaimed the land, and the site is now revered by Voodoo practitioners and visited by pilgrims. Reachable by a moderate hike, treat this site as you would any other church.
