Attractions in Jamaica

Eco tourists will enjoy Jamaica's Shaw Park Botanical Gardens and Waterfalls with its 25 acre gardens and natural spring pool. Its well appointed inn has 12 rooms, and the property can accommodate picnics and wedding parties of up to 250. Shaw Park offers all wedding services from initial planning to catering, photography, videography, documentation assistance and floral arrangements.

Here visitors can luxuriate in the mineral waters at the Roaring River cave in Westmoreland, Jamaica. The cave is an underground cavern with built in steps. It is well lit and its walls and ceilings are covered with crystallized minerals. The river and cave are now manage by the Roaring River Citizens Association, a local community group that charges a small fee for park entry and use of the cave and mineral springs.

The Rio Cobre River can be considered a blessing in disguise to the hundreds of residents in St. Catherine that depend on irrigation water particularly for agricultural purposes.

Yet this river has been a watery grave for a number of people when the vehicle in which they were travelling plunged into the deep waters of the Rio Cobre.

A farmer who works the land beside the river where these lovely falls cascade into a deep pool, manages the attraction. Next to the falls is the Mandingo Cave, which is reportedly a quarter mile long with a whirlpool at its centre.

Just across from Emancipation Park, Putt’N’Play Amusement Park is a favourite with children because of the rides. On weekends it is used often for birthday parties, and can accommodate up to 3000.
