Jamaica
Its name means land of water and forest and it is an island full of contrasts – compare the volcanic origins of the Blue Mountains in the east to the limestone formations in the centre and west or the sandy beaches protected by large reefs and rocks around Negril to the mangrove jungle and rocky outcrops where the sea pounds the shore.
Jamaica has only been independent for just over 40 years, but the people are proud of their African roots and as well as reggae and rastafarianism, they have a thriving art and literary culture.
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios are the two most popular and well known beach resorts on the island, whilst the Dunn’s River Falls are one of the most visited and unique natural attractions.
The land is beautiful, dominated by the Blue Mountain peak, the people are full of character and typical of the Caribbean, the pace of life is slow. If someone says they will “soon come”, don’t expect too much! Just relax and enjoy!
