For the tourists who crave adventure…

The Green Grotto Caves are said to have provided shelter for Jamaica’s first inhabitants, the Taino Indians and the Arawak Indians.

The Jamaican Arawaks Indians were skilled artisans who left their paintings on the walls of many island caves. They were superb stone-workers and their implements were particularly well shaped, smooth and beautifully finished.

Used for numerous reason through out history, such as a hideout by the Spanish during the takeover of the island by the English, the slaves used these Caves to hide from they evil masters and smuggling, running arms to Cuba.

These Caves, saved by the Government of Jamaica, are well cared for and have awards to prove it!

Christopher Columbus who landed just over 3 km from these caves, the Cave is now living again, you will see the start of new stalagmites, measure how long it takes to form!
