That Jamaica is beautiful is a given. I will however continue to argue that the most beautiful part of the island is Portland. And I argue this not because it is the parish of my birth, but because of its lush unspoiled scenery.
If you are ever in Jamaica or even if you live here, rafting down the Rio Grande is a must have experience. The raft takes a seven mile trip down the river through some of the most beautiful landscapes the island has to offer. You can pilot your own raft for portions of the trip, take a dip in the beautiful clear water, buy refreshments from any of the floating bars or shop for art and crafts from the riverside art galleries.
If that is too tame for your senses you can go night rafting…The pilots promise…THEY WILL NEVER TURN AROUND!

Wow it almost looks like White River has nothing on the Rio Grande! I’ve not yet made it out that way for the rafting. I’ve only been to Porty for a day and saw Blue Lagoon and Boston beach.
I’m working my way East and just covered St Mary. Guess I need to put that on my list of things to do!

I agree 100% Portland is the most beautiful part of the island!!!! Rafting was a wonderful experience. Very relaxing and fun!! “Twin towers” is actually called “Lovers Lane”. There is a story behind it. Can’t remember it though (thinking… hmm)
Lovely review Xhanubis!
