Jamaica
Located about 90 miles south of Cuba, it is the third largest country in the Caribbean, measuring 4,400 square miles. This lush tropical
island has over 120 rivers, a magnificent mountain range - the Blue Mountains with its highest peak a soaring 7,402 ft. and miles of white
sand beaches. With a myriad selection of resort areas from the business formalities of its capital Kingston; to the rich historical
setting of Montego Bay; to the sun-kissed beaches and unforgettable sunsets of Negril; to a shopper's hvaen in Ocho Rios; and the pure seclusion
of Port Antonio; there is something for everyone. Life on the island is vibrant, stimulated by teh rythyms of reggae and Calypso, colored by the
rich culture and artworks and invigorated by the spices of jerk seasonings. It is truly a paradise of dreams and is why visitors keep heeding
the call "Come Back to Jamaica".
