Many people call Jamaica a paradise on earth, the diamond in
the sea and heaven in the Caribbean. There is a magic in Jamaica but
listening to the great reggae tunes isn’t enough until you visit this
great country in the Caribbean which has attracted millions of tourists
worldwide.
The mere mention of Jamaica brings in mind
great reggae artists such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer,
Joseph Hill (Culture), Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond
Decker and other artists but there is more in Jamaica which makes it
unique than the sweet coconut-water reggae.
Jamaica is part of the
Greater
Antilles and is the third largest island located south of Cuba
and west of Haiti. The island boasts of beautiful exotic nature, vibrant
distinctive magnificent mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, and miles
of first-class beaches.
The natural beauty of Jamaica attracts
travellers from all over the world. The most visited places of the
island include the Blue Mountains, where one of the most popular and top
quality coffee in the world comes from, and Dunn's River Waterfalls.
In
the northwest of the island, there is a huge resort area of Montego
Bay, where half of the best hotels in Jamaica are located, including
Half Moon Resort, where Queen Elizabeth II stayed, and Round Hill Hotel
and Villas.
It is understandable why the island boasts of
beautiful exotic natural beaches, places untouched by humans, good
infrastructure and beautiful locations, such as Font Hill Nature
Reserve, Cockpit Country, a limestone platform with many caves and
valleys.
Montego Bay is famous for its magnificent beaches, old
mansions, and plantations, as well as many attractions of both historic
and entertaining. Tourists enjoy their visit by rafting along the rivers
Marta Brae, Black River, take a tour of the Blue Mountains or play golf
on the best fields of the island.
Negril is one of the most
environmentally friendly resort areas in the world. It is located in the
west of the island, revealing its natural beauty of the seven-mile
sandy beach of Kaliko Jack, Bladi Bay, 18 reefs and islands in Bubi Bay,
Yas waterfall, Joseph caves, Anansi Park and picturesque fishing
villages.
It's intriguing to know that Jamaicans also call inconsistent or untrue stories 'Ananse stories.'
The
resort of Ocho Rios in the north of the island is famous for its chic
tropical vegetation, as well as the 180-meter-high Dunn River Falls,
fruit and coffee plantations and the viewing platform of Murphy Hill
with a height of 670 meters.
The famous Blue Lagoon, where the
filming of the same name (The Blue Lagoon) took place can be visited in
the north-east of the island, in Port Antonio and in the south-east of
the country. It worth visiting the Spanish town, the former capital and
one of the main attractions of the island.
Diving in Jamaica gives
the chance to see the diverse and mysterious underwater world. The
waters of Negril have great visibility with a rich variety of fish,
turtles, eels, and dolphins. At a depth of 19 m reveals the so-called
Throne Room, a cave filled with yellow sponges.
On the territory
of Jamaica, there are 10 excellent golf courses, because Jamaicans love
this sport very much. In Kingston, the capital, you can also enjoy the
sight of historic beautiful buildings, paintings, and products inspired
by Rastafarians.
Amazingly, today, Jamaica is no more known as the
reggae kingdom, but also athletics country, thanks to good athletes,
such as Melene Ottey, Asafa Powell Usain Bolt etc.
