An island with its own rhythm; culture, cuisine, beaches and rich nature attract more and more visitors.
Vibrant Jamaica
A land of vivid colors, emotional rhythms and a lot of creativity, Jamaica preserves an attitude and personality that is more resonant and distinct than any other Caribbean island. There is certainly a lot of white sand and clear sea, but inside are spectacular mountains and rivers, waterfalls and plains that invite adventure.
With its own soundtrack, Jamaica is a country that experiences music intensely, whether to the reggae rhythm diffused by Bob Marley or the electronic beats that come out of nightclubs scattered around the country, you will soon be balancing to the Caribbean rhythm.
Creole cuisine is another major attraction on the island. With great restaurants, the food is filled with spices, fish and plantains, in addition to the wide variety of fruits. Drinks include rum and the iconic Blue Mountain coffee.
