Ocho Rios
Picture-perfect waterfalls and a lush, jungle-meets-the-sea energy make Ocho Rios the ideal getaway for travelers seeking the natural heart of Jamaica. Known as 'Ochi' to the locals, this former fishing village is situated on the island's northern coast, nestled beneath the verdant peaks of the Blue Mountains.
The destination stretches from the world-famous, terraced cascades of Dunn's River Falls to the crystalline swimming holes of the Blue Hole and the rainforest bobsled trails of Mystic Mountain. American travelers can fly into Montego Bay and take a scenic 90-minute coastal drive. Window seats are a must to see the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves that define this lush 'Garden Parish'!
