Richly blessed by Mother Nature, it's a spectular natural wonderland. The isle's rain forest environment is a natural home for strikingly beautiful species of plants, butterflies, and birds. A jungle hike brings visions of delicate hummingbirds, the country's national bird. The variety of birds hover near orchids and the abundant flowering trees. Jamaica has the world's third largest varieties of colorful orchids and graceful ferns. You'll enjoy the stunning features of the multifaceted environment and exotic landscape. Romantic myths and legends attribute magical qualities to the isle's many waterfalls and mineral pools. These mineral springs have been measured and are found to be literally rejuvenating. Scientific evidence supports this claim based on the high negative ion counts which register in the atmosphere near waterfalls. These properties cause psychological and physiological health benefits. One might think this is the place that Ponce de Leon searched for considering its many effervescent "fountains of youth". ![]() |
