Are you searching for a dream holiday? Then look no further than a holiday in Jamaica. Long ago its indigenous Arawak-speaking Taino inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning “The Land of Wood and Water”, or “The Land of Springs”. It is the third most populous Anglophone country in the Americas, after the Unites States and Canada. Kingston is the country’s largest city and the capital. Jamaica’s climate is tropical, supporting a diverse wealth of plants and animals, some of which are unique to the country. Much of the island which was originally deeply forested, has been cleared for building and cultivation. The areas of cultivation contain sugarcane, bananas and citrus now.
Although snakes are common in Jamaica, none of the country’s snakes are dangerously venomous to humans. Beautiful, exotic birds can be found, and the Western Hemisphere’s largest butterfly is native to the island too.
There are caves and coral reefs to be explored on holiday here. Among Jamaica’s protected areas is the country’s first marine park, covering nearly 6 square miles ( about 15 square km) which was established in Montego Bay.
The music of Jamaica and the cuisine make the island very attractive, interesting and enjoyable as a holiday destination. Ian Fleming used Jamaica as a setting in the James Bond novels. The country has also been used as the set in a number of films.
Errol Flynn lived with his third wife Patrice Wymore in Port Antonio. He was responsible for developing tourism in this area, popularizing raft trips down rivers on bamboo rafts.
If you are nervous about safety you may like to choose an all-inclusive hotel accommodation holiday in Jamaica, or being confident prefer to discover the true more-original country in all its colourful tropical island diversity by going out to the various country districts from your hotel. However you choose, a holiday in Jamaica will provide you with the relaxing, invigorating experience of a lifetime.
