Adventure Holidays In Jamiaca

The third-largest island in the Caribbean , Jamaica is made up of mountainous inlands surrounded by a narrow coastal plain. Fertile vegetation and pristine beaches abound in the north, while the rocky interior is spectacularly full of bottomless gorges and steep crests, including a virtually impassable area potholed with bush-covered hummocks, endless sinkholes, underground caves and flat valley bottoms. Rising gradually from the west are the uplands, concluding with the Blue Mountains in the east.
