Jamaica is in the western Caribbean, at latitude 18.5 degrees N, Longitude 77.3 degrees W, and is completely surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.

At 4,441 square miles, Jamaica is approximately the size of Connecticut and one of the largest islands in the Caribbean.

Preshistoric Jamaica was volcanic, and the mountains that soar to 7,402 feet are higher than any in the eastern half of North America.

These mountains run all through the island's center, with a narrow coastal plain on either side. Some 150 rivers, numerous waterfalls and an abundance of trees and flowering plants are found across the island, earning Jamaica the  title "land of wood and water."

Jamaica has a variety of underground caves and offshore reefs, and safe, naturally filtered drinking water.

The high mountains of the east feature misty pine trees and in the north, flowers abound. There are also rain forests and rolling plains that, except for the occasional palm tree, are reminiscent of the south of England.

The south resembles the African savannah of India plains, and has alternating black and which sand beaches as well as mineral springs.

From each morning's glorious sunrise until the sea swallows the sun at night, Jamaica presents a magnificent palette of colours, a kaleidoscope of beauty that makes our island the most precious jewel in the Caribbean. We are land of unique experiences, engaging activities, breathtaking landscapes and a warm, welcoming people.

We are the social and cultural hub of the Caribbean. Experienced travelers and seasoned jetsetters who know the playgrounds of the Caribbean come back to Jamaica again and again.

No place on earth provides the range of attractions and the cultural diversity that can be found here.
