Discovered by none other than Columbus, Amiga, or Ile à Rats as it is known now, is a small, precious island with unspoilt beach and translucent waters.
Although Labadie is a very attractive town where one could easily spend several days exploring or just relaxing, close to it is Ile à Rats, a small island off the northern coast of Haiti. It was discovered by none less than Christopher Columbus, the explorer who put the Americas on the western maps. He named the island Amiga, and according to some, used it to retreat with his local lover. Locals refer to it as Lilet, from French l'Ilet: small island. Chartering a boat in Labadie, it now takes some forty minutes to reach this uninhabited island. From a distance, while racing over shallow waters with corals, you can easily spot this small dot on the horizon as it becomes bigger on your approach.
