Overview

Beyond the tourist spots, Jamaica moves to its own beat. People speak patois, cook with jerk spices, and grow coffee in the Blue Mountains. Music plays everywhere, from Kingston's streets to countryside bars. Small fishing towns and mountain communities show you what everyday life is really like on the island.
