Jamaica: Places To See
|
 |
Why Jamaica:
Like no other country in the Caribbean, perhaps in the world, Jamaica hosts a bounty of visitor attractions. Sightseeing tours, historical landmarks and daytime activities are as diverse as the country's terrain.
Vacationing in Jam aica , and not getting out to see the country and its people would be a sin.
If you're staying in Negril, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Kingston or Port Antonio, set aside at least one day for a guided excursion to the Blue Mountains.
