In Ocho Rios Nature Park, which is located not far from the city with the same name, travelers can see some of the most picturesque waterfalls in the world.

Water streams have also created small lagoons in limestone, forming swimming pools suitable for both children and adults.

There are three exciting ways of getting down from the mountain top. Vacationers can choose a bobsleigh ride. The track starts from a station that looks like a 20th-century railway station.
