Tourist Attractions & Monuments Jamaica

On the heights of Camrose, 15 minutes from the city, this garden-gallery where art is in communion with nature has been shaped in the rock by the strength of the wrist for years, a real wonder. A garden of Eden maintained by Ras, his wife Tamika and their son Ayale covered with a multitude of plants and flowers. Hummingbirds have taken up residence there. The path is amazing and the works of the artist fascinating. On site: a Juice bar. The generosity of the hosts will remain an unforgettable memory. If the price can be dissuasive, it is worth the candle.

The Rastafari Indigenous Village has been in existence for about ten years. Its community brought it to life through a generous sharing of land from an open-minded neighbor. The visit is a real cultural and initiatory rejuvenation for those who wish to discover the Rastafari precepts. This movement is based on the principles of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and identifies the last Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, as the Negus, the king of kings, lord of lords, lion of the tribe of Judas. The welcome is sincere and warm and the lesson of life amazing. It is an opportunity to discover the Ion Station community, which is well anchored in its values, and yet lives with the times. Philosophy, lifestyle, education, culture, music, ganja, after a brief historical point, your guide will explain everything to you without any language, by making the tour of the village. You will also discover the basics of i-tal cuisine, the vegetarian Rasta cuisine (while enjoying a snack). You will end up with a moment of musical sharing where you will not only be a spectator. A souvenir store, composed only of handicrafts made by the community, will be a must before heading back to the road. Please note that it is forbidden to photograph the members of the community alone. It is also possible to stay there for a few nights, if the visit was a revelation or if you wish to know more, to live more, but it is not cheap.

The Montego Bay Cultural Center houses the National Museum West and the National Gallery West. It is located in the heart of Downtown. With its permanent and temporary exhibits, it provides an informed view of the country's central cultural and historical themes. From the Tainos to the Spanish and British colonization to modern Jamaica, the structure traces its history. The part on the birth of the Rasta communities is very well highlighted.

The Mayfield falls tours office in Montego Bay makes it easy to arrange this excursion to these little known and truly well preserved waterfalls. Two beautiful waterfalls and 21 natural pools make up this exceptional eco-park, which has 52 types of ferns and an abundance of tropical rainforest flora, rich in butterfly, bird and island endemic species. You can swim in the refreshing water, and it is necessary to bring water shoes (which can be rented on site if needed). The tour lasts 1h30.

Jamaica Giants is an art and creative space nestled in an incredible environment. Paintings and sculptures made by local artists are displayed indoors in the middle of a forest. Wooden walkways take you to discover the works. Far from the hustle and bustle of Negril, the place is conducive to relaxation, contemplation and meditation. Embark on a guided tour where the story of each artist is told, then take time to enjoy the site. The road to get there is difficult, but the trip is worth it!

A beautiful beach at the exit of Montego Bay in the direction of Negril, hemmed in by coves and surrounded by a vast and beautiful lush garden. If you want to escape the crowds of Mobay's beaches, you've come to the right place. Thomas, the owner who speaks a little French, organizes beach parties and beautiful evenings of concerts and parties, but also weddings, birthdays and other private parties, by the light of the sunset. He also organizes open-air cinema sessions for an American-style drive-in, right in his car, at night.

The modest Kaz Kreol Beach Lodge offers affordable access to the small beach at the mouth of the White River (with translucent emerald waters), between the luxury Jamaica Inn and Couples Sans Souci. A truly beautiful turquoise haven, lined with vegetation and white sand, with a row of comfortable loungers on a concrete jetty, another under the shady vegetation on the white sand and a river side beach. The bar restaurant serves juicy barbecued pork chops, grilled fish and lobster.

On 16 hectares of lush nature, two rivers meet to create 14 waterfalls with crystal clear water, 7 of which are accessible. They all have a name. Landings, bridges, pontoons with benches will punctuate your walk between two swims in these beautiful natural pools. There are also fish, turtles, birds... It's a little secret site, perfect to avoid the crowd of Dunn's River Falls. The Turtle Falls are just as beautiful.

A real favorite. At the bend in the road, a circular expanse of water of an indescribable turquoise blue is revealed. It is one of the famous Blue Holes of the region. All along the river, natural pools have formed. This one, below Spanish Bridge, is free (for the moment). A real corner of paradise where obviously the Jamaicans come in great numbers with their families. In the middle of the bamboos and the luxuriant vegetation, we reach it by a small ladder. A pure wonder known by few people... so keep it a secret!

The small red brick church with the white arcades, located in the city centre, dates back to 1865. One of the bricks of a wall of the church is marked by the date to testify.

The court, a small building of red brick dating from the th century, is surmounted by a dome.

Located on the main square of Spanish Town, the House of Assembly was built in 1762 and today welcomes the meetings of the Sainte-Catherine Parish Council. The building has a beautiful wooden balcony.
