2. Dunn’s River Falls
Known as the waterfalls or springs, Dunn’s River Falls is a one of a kind, uniquely design masterpiece. If you like rock climbing, then get ready to climb the falls, with a group of people, and hold hands as you climb up the falls, to secure you from falling. The calcium carbonate from the river, which flows over the falls, will soothe your body, leaving you feeling cool and refreshed. One of Jamaica’s national treasure, located in Ocho Rios, and well-known as the Reggae music. A combination of being close to the sea, and a small dome-shaped cataract with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves, makes it unique. After a long day of rock climbing and swimming, you are sure to be parched. Change your clothes in the dressing rooms provided down the fall, then buy refreshments and food at the cafeteria. You can also head into the main town of Ocho Rios, where you will find local Restaurants, shops, and music bars.
