INTRODUCTION

Some say this is the best of the Caribbean: emerald green gorges of the Rio Grande, spectacular waterfalls, ancient plantations and colonial forts. The three main world-class resorts, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril, are renowned for their magnificent white sand beaches that will certainly please the water sports lovers who can choose from windsurfing, sailing, kayaking or diving. But if you prefer, try tennis, golf, horseback riding, hiking, or cycling. Take in a breathtaking sunset, then go dancing to the tune of reggae or calypso music.
