In fact, there is much more than palm trees out there! As you stroll a bit, you will have the chance to see bamboos and several fruit trees such as ackee, lychee and almond. The landscapes of Ocho Rios are simply magnificent!
Due to its mountainous terrain and humid climate, Jamaica is full of great waterfalls and cascades. The most impressive and popular with tourists are the Dunn River waterfalls. Remember to bring you water shoes!
It is possible to visit the place where lived Bob Marley, the famous reggae singer. You only need to climb up the steps of Zion to reach his mausoleum, one of the holiest places in Jamaica.

In Kingston, which is about an hour and a half drive away, you can also visit the Bob Marley Museum, featuring several exhibitions in tribute to the artist.
