Explore Jamaica’s tropical rainforest!
On this program, you’ll journey to Jamaica’s tropical rainforest high in the Blue and John Crow Mountains. After viewing its rustic landscape, there will be no question why it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The majestic slopes span across four parishes, and from its remarkable summit, one can see both the North and South coasts of the island.
This region is a perfect area to learn about the many indigenous plant species of Jamaica, wilderness survival skills, and the famous Blue Mountain coffee.
The Blue & John Crow Mountains are also known for their endless outdoor adventure activities, so be ready to hike, go swimming, and immerse yourself in the life of the descendants of the Maroons – runaway slaves.
