Three Quick Tips
 |
Discover "the Land of Wood and Water". Although we're known for our beaches, there's a reason why our first inhabitants named Jamaica, "the land of wood and water". Jamaica's topographical features, unlike many other islands in the Caribbean, are very diverse. So if you're interested in seeing the full breadth of Jamaica’s landscape - explore some of our spectacular rivers, waterfalls, caves, bays, mountains, forests and woodlands. |

Going on a guided tour will make for a safer, more enriching experience. There are many tourist board-approved local organisations that specialize in guided adventure tours. So whether you plan to go on a jungle canopy tour or a raft ride down the Martha Brae, go with a local expert who knows the ropes. |

Packing checklist. For adventures on land, don't forget to pack Insect Repellent that contains DEET, high SPF sunscreen, shades with UVA/UVB protection and broken-in, closed-toed hiking or walking shoes. For adventures in water, bring waterproof sunscreen, shades with UVA/UVB protection and sandals or water shoes with Velcro or lacing (flip-flops are a no-no)! And whatever you do, bring a camera. |

Blackbeard:
Edward Teach, the notorious pirate known as Blackbeard was born in Spanish Town 'of very creditable parents.' He went to sea at age 15 and drifted into piracy. By the turn of the 18th century he was in command of his own vessel. Blackbeard was so called because he had a beard so huge that he twisted it into tails and tied it with ribbons. Adding to his ferocious appearance, he also stick fuses under his hat and light them as he battle. It was said that he is supposed to have had 14 wives.
