Blue Mountains adventures
The Blue Mountains, located at the eastern tip of Jamaica, reach 7402 feet in cloud and share some of the most spectacular views of Kingston and Cuba on a clear day. With more than 200 inches of rain, 300 in some places, and the cold climate, they support a number of indigenous species of flora and fauna, with huge trees at low elevations, but delayed growth at high elevations due to the cold. Together with John Crow Mountains and Port Royal Mountains, they were designated as a National Park, the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park, by the Government of Jamaica in 1992 to protect the environment and promote sustainable development in the country's largest watershed. The 193,292 acres cover ten watersheds in the parishes of St Andrew, Portland, St Thomas and St Mary.

Bird Watching: Discover Jamaican endemic species

The Blue Mountains are home to 30 endemic birds, including the Jamaican quiscal, which should not be confused with other noisier merles found in Jamaica, such as the Cling Cling quiscal.
It is the winter home of many migratory birds, and in fact it is one of the largest habitats in the Caribbean for migratory birds.
For your observation adventure, we advise you to dedicate at least 2 days to it in order to fully enjoy the experience. Contact us for more information!
