Nature in the Caribbean Nine natural wonders you can’t miss in Jamaica

Dunn River and Iris Blue Hole Waterfalls, Ocho Ríos

Close to the city of Ocho Ríos, we find a place that will leave you stunned by its charms. The power of the Dunn River takes over this stretch of the forest, flowing through the terraces at will and creating small pools where it finds a gap. It is difficult not to stand by and watch this wonder for hours while you think about everything and anything. But if you are an adventurer, you can't miss the opportunity to jump into the water and stride from stone to stone. Such a special waterfall spectacle can only have one outcome given its brilliance: it flows directly into the Caribbean. On the other hand, if you're looking for a corner on the edge of the planet where you can forget about everything, Blue Hole is waiting for you. If you have the privilege of getting to know it, you have two tasks: let the intense blue of the natural pools immerse you and close your eyes to feel the energy of the waterfall.

Marine Park Montego Bay

This park is an ecological reserve that since 1991 has been looking to preserve the landscapes and tropic fauna that inhabit this Jamaican bay. Great marine diversity makes this place a paradise for diving lovers. A myriad of coral reefs and fish create an explosion of color on a seabed worthy of admiration. If diving isn't your thing, you can make the most of this unique environment with boat trips or simply surrender to the mercy of nature lying on the shores of Doctor's Cave beach.

The Iberostar Rose Hall Beach hotel is an All Inclusive luxury 5-star accommodation in Montego Bay. It is the perfect choice for those who want to experience an unforgettable family or couples vacation in Jamaica.

Half Moon Beach, Negril

Just over an hour away from Montego Bay is one of Jamaica's most beautiful reefs, under the waters that bathe Half Moon beach. This enclave invites you to lie in a hammock in the sun, to dive and marvel at a kaleidoscopic seabed, to practice bamboo rafting to a virgin island (the only one you will find on the island in the open sea) and, ultimately, to taste the sweet Caribbean life. Also, literally: if you want to pay a culinary tribute, there is a charming bar where you will be served with Jamaican delicacies and delicious cocktails.

Glistening Waters, Falmouth

It sounds like science fiction, but in Jamaica there's a bright lagoon waiting for you that will leave you speechless. You can't leave the island without visiting this magical place. The reason why the water lights up in the dark? Microorganisms that start to shine with movement. This phenomenon only happens in three places in the world, so put it on your list of things to do in Jamaica. A night swim in the Glistening Waters is an amazing experience, so much so that you may wonder if the stars have fallen from the sky to this point on Earth.

Blue Mountains, Jamaica

The imposing Blue Mountains form the longest range in Jamaica, which is the highest point on the Caribbean island, at 2,256 meters high. Ferns, bamboo, eucalyptus or colorful wild flowers are some of the plant varieties that accompany the pathways that lead you through tropical forests. And for those who are happy with a cup of coffee, some of the best beans in the world come from the plantations in these mountains. Listen to the sweet melody of the birds, let the fog envelop you, succumb to the charm of landscape and breathe fresh air, you don't need anything else.

Seven Mile Beach, Negril

On this beach you can walk to the sound of Is This Love by Bob Marley. It is one of the most iconic beaches on the island, surely because it meets all the requirements to be the protagonist of one of the mythical tropical Caribbean postcards. At Seven Mile, the vast ocean merges with the blue sky on the horizon. There is no better place to enjoy a wide variety of water activities as a family. The nearest airport is Montego Bay, so if you travel from this city to Negril, be prepared not to stop looking at the hypnotic north the whole way. Landscapes that make you sigh!
