Pico Duarte: 3,101 Meters, the Highest Peak in the Entire Caribbean

Early in the morning in La Ciénaga, in the Central Cordillera of the Dominican Republic, hikers load up their mules before heading deep into the forest. The trail climbs steeply. The vegetation changes with altitude, from tropical foliage to pine trees, then to cloud forest, until nights arrive when the cold takes you by surprise right in the middle of the Caribbean. After two or three days of hiking—sometimes longer, depending on the hikers’ fitness levels and the weather—Pico Duarte comes into view, the highest peak in the entire Caribbean. Pico Duarte, in the Dominican Republic, stands at 3,101.1 meters according to a precise GPS survey conducted in 2021 —a few meters higher than the 3,087-meter figure long cited by the Dominican tourism board. In either case, no other peak in the Caribbean—whether in Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, or Puerto Rico—is higher. A mountain peak, not a beach, offering a different

S1/10 – Stories of Caribbean Cinema: From the Early Days in Jamaica. Text by Guillaume Robillard. Ciclic, 2026.

With this first episode, Richès Karayib launches a ten-part series dedicated to the history of Caribbean cinema, based on the work of Guillaume Robillard, a Ph.D. in film, professor and researcher, documentary filmmaker, and specialist in Caribbean cinema and artistic production. From Cuba to Jamaica, from Martinique to Curaçao, this chronology spans more than sixty years of filmmaking in the Caribbean. This first installment takes us back to the 1960s and early 1970s, first to Cuba and then to Jamaica, where several films began to lay the groundwork for cinematic traditions deeply rooted in the social, cultural, and political realities of their respective regions. This article is the first in a series of ten, available on Richès Karayib. Thus, the history of Caribbean cinema did not begin until the 1960s, even though films had been shot in the Caribbean since the early 20th century—notably two short films by the Lumière

Gaston Monnerville, the Guyanese who became the first Black president of the Senate

Gaston Monnerville, born on January 2, 1897, in Cayenne, French Guiana, served as President of the French Senate from 1958 to 1968. To this day, he remains the only Black president of a chamber of the French Parliament, a position he attained after a career as a lawyer and later as a member of the Resistance during the Occupation. In 1962, Gaston Monnerville publicly opposed General de Gaulle over the reform of the method for electing the President of the Republic, a confrontation that has gone down in the history of the Senate. Gaston Monnerville vs. de Gaulle: The 1962 Scene Gaston Monnerville talking with a man, both wearing suits. On October 9, 1962, Gaston Monnerville addressed the Senate from the rostrum at the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris.
