Blue Mountains
Jamaica, Surrey County, Portland County
Description:
The Blue Mountains are part of the national park, founded here in 1992 and considered a globally important natural object of the planet. Unique varieties of broadleaf trees and flowering plants grow here, as well as rare and endangered species of animals and birds.
Today, the park is under the watchful protection of local authorities, protecting the park borders. The high slopes of the mountain range are covered with forest, and on the lower slopes there are excellent conditions for growing the famous Jamaican blue coffee.
The Blue Mountains consist of two ridges, the highest point of which is the Blue Mountain Peak with a height of 2256 meters. If desired, you can climb the hiking trail to its top. A guide will accompany you along the route. At the very top of the mountain there is an observation deck, from here there is a magnificent view of the northern and southern coasts of the country, and in clear weather you can see even neighboring Cuba with Jamaica.
After climbing the mountain, we recommend going to the coffee plantation, where you will be treated to delicious local cuisine, rum punch and fresh coffee.
