Pic Macaya is the park's namesake summit and one of the great mountains of the Caribbean, though few travellers ever see it. The peak sits deep in the Massif de la Hotte, far from the usual routes across Haiti, and reaches 2,347 metres above sea level.
The mountain is important for water, forest, and biodiversity as much as for hiking. Any ascent requires serious preparation, local guidance, and current knowledge of security and trail conditions. This is not a peak to tick off casually.
