On the island of Jamaica, there are many remarkable natural sites, among which a special place is occupied by waterfalls. All foreign tourists arriving to the island are recommended to visit the Blue Hole waterfalls, which attract their beauty and purity.
The uniqueness of the Blue Hole waterfalls
The waterfalls of Jamaica have long become a place of pilgrimage for all tourists. The most popular waterfalls are Dunns River . For one day they can be visited by thousands of people, because of what many are uncomfortable to be here. Unlike Dunns River, the Blue Hole waterfalls are not so crowded, but from this even more attractive.
They are deep in the jungle, surrounded by lush vegetation and exotic flowers. The local water has a turquoise color, which is due to the high content of limestone. Due to its rich mineral composition, water has a beneficial effect on the bone system, joints, hair and skin of a person. That is why swimming in the Blue Hole waterfall is considered beneficial for health.
The height of the Blue Hole waterfalls is about 6 m. Directly in the middle is a rope stretched through them, with which you can descend to the foot. If you are looking for extreme sensations, you can jump off the bungee or straight from the rock. But first, soberly assess their strength, as there are no rescuers in this area.
You should definitely visit these picturesque Jamaican waterfalls to:
- enjoy the noise of falling water;
- feel reunion with a delightful nature;
- bathe in crystal clear turquoise water;
- explore a small cave under a waterfall;
- jump from the stream into the lagoon.
You can also visit the farm located near the waterfalls of Blue Hole. Here, crocodiles are grown, which are then released into the reserve. Crocodiles are protected by the state, therefore hunting and eating their meat is strictly prohibited.
