ISLAND INFORMATION
There is a magic to Jamaica that is as soul-stirring as a sunset and as innocent as a child's smile. Wherever you go in this enchanted paradise, you will find natural beauty so stunning, it will take your breath away. And people so genuinely friendly and hospitable, it will warm your heart.. Jamaica is home to a breathtaking landscape of rolling mountains lined by endless white sand beaches, carpeted by lush foliage and crisscrossed by rolling rivers and cascading waterfalls. Take a lazy raft ride on Montego Bay's Martha Brae River. Climb world-famous Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios or watch the cliff divers at Rick's Cafe in Negril.
