Fiwi Roots, takes you beyond the typical headlines and travel brochures, to the hidden gems of Jamaica,  places of historical significance and lesser known, but significant, facts about Jamaica [more]
Port Antonio
Port Antonio, to most people who have visited, is considered to be the most charming and unspoilt natural area of Jamaica. It's location on the north western tip of the island, positions it on the windward side of the Blue Mountains, the highest mountain range in Jamaica, resulting is a much wetter climate, lush vegetations and rain forests.
Black River
Long ignored as a tourist destination, Black River and it's surrounding areas, and the small farming and fishing communities still retain the flavor of "old" Jamaica, in it's natural setting; historic buildings, waterfalls, farms, wildlife, plants and fauna.
Port Royal
As one walks along the narrow streets of the poor fishing village of Port Royal today, it is hard to imagine that it once was the largest and most economically significant English settlement in the Americas.  It is now an isolated place at the end of a long peninsula across the bay from Kingston. It has a small population of about  1800 people, who view themselves as 'Port Royalists,' rather than as simply Jamaican.
Scuba Diving
Located at the center of coral diversity in the Atlantic Ocean, Jamaica’s coral reefs are among the best studied in the world and maybe the longest directly observed submarine ecosystems, with data available since the 1950s. Over 60 species of reef building corals grow here.
