Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in La Visite

Several factors influence mosquito activity in La Visite National Park. The park's elevation, ranging from 600 to over 2,000 meters, affects temperature and humidity, which in turn impacts mosquito populations. Key influences include:

Understanding these helps visitors anticipate mosquito levels. For example, the park's dense canopy near the Pic Macaya peak can harbor more mosquitoes than open trails. Learn more about local climate patterns at the Haiti Meteorological Service.
