Jamaica offers a treasure trove of natural gems: from golden beaches; lush green mountains; turquoise sea; coral reef; rainforest; rivers and many historic plantations. Jamaica is a favorite Caribbean getaway.
Here are the best places to visit in Jamaica.
Dunn's River Falls
Dunn's River Falls is a well-known waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and a popular Caribbean tourist destination with thousands of tourists each year.
It is described as a living and growing phenomenon because it constantly regenerates itself from layers of travertine rock that form because of calcium carbonate precipitation from the river as it runs over the falls. Small dome-shaped cataracts are commonly connected with thermal spring activity in limestone caves.
This, paired with its proximity to the sea, makes Dunn's River the only one of its sorts in the Caribbean, if not the globe.
Rose Hall Great House
Immerse yourself in the island's legacy as your experienced guide tells the narrative of this colonial ruin, which was restored to its former splendor in the 1960s. Discover the lifestyle of the European bourgeoisie on the Caribbean islands in the eighteenth century. The story of Annee Palmer, the fabled White Witch of Rose Hall, is likely to enchant. Beautiful tropical plants and personalities will add color to your journey and keep you entertained along the way!
You can opt for a day trip, but if you are a fan of fantastic stories, you can opt for a spotless candlelight evening tour. Guides dressed in character share many colorful stories of fantastic sightings and they will definitely hold you on your toes. You could see the white witch herself, who knows!
Bob Marley Museum
The museum is located on the grounds of the famed musician's house, which he bought in 1975. Marley lived in this residence, which has 19th-century architecture, until his transition in 1981. Mrs. Rita Marley, his wife, transformed it into a museum six years later. The primary museum houses Marley's personal belongings.
Explore Bob Marley's former home and studio, where you will find beautifully hand painted wallpaper and Bob statue, a host of his personal treasures, such as platinum, gold records and awards and an award-winning gallery of photographs. But the one-hour tour of the museum at the most is the visit to the old room of Bob Marley, which has remained untouched since it left the day.
The site also has an 80-seat theatre, a picture gallery, a record shop, and a gift shop loaded with Bob Marley memorabilia.
After finishing your tour, unwind with a scrumptious lunch from the One Love Café.

Take a look also at some of the many bird species, including parrots that are yellow-billed. Bringing water shoes is also a good idea.
Blue Lagoon
Escape into the paradise, where lush foliage and crystal clear waters will surround you. After the popularity of the movie shot on site called Blue Lagoon, this magnificent spot changed its name.

Don't get home as your only souvenir with your boring, compulsory t-shirt, but instead take some handmade joys and souvenirs from local craftspeople and women. And as long as you get a bit or two, you will be certain that Boston is known for being cooked on an open flame!
