WELCOME!!  

Welcome to Jamaica, the most popular Caribbean Island to visit for people of all ages.  Jamaica is the birth place of Bob Marley and James Bond.  Jamaica is one of the most "sophisticated and exotic islands in the Caribbean."  The beaches are considered among the most pure and beautiful.  The crystal blue waters and white sand make a visit to the beach a delightful experience.

       Jamaica has about 14 parishes, each having its own flavor.  Although the majority of the population is from African decent, there are people from European, Arabic, Chinese and East Indian ancestry.

        Jamaica is believed to have been formed from volcanoes billions of years ago.  Originally, Jamaica was a rough, rugged land, but eventually the climate and soil change to provide conditions very suitable  for the lush flora that can been seen today.  

        There are over 3000 varieties of flowers that can be found that includes 800 species that are found only in Jamaica.  It also has a lovely climate with an average of 77 inches of rain, mostly in October and May.  The average temperature is 80 F.

        Do not expect to explore Jamaica in a few days.  From the high peaks of the Blue Mountain, the dramatic water falls, white sanded beaches Jamaica is waiting for you!
