Highly recommended is Carolyn\u2019s Secret Falls tour. Get a feel for the local culture as your tour guide makes stops at local stands, where you can try traditional Jamaican meat patties or jerk chicken, and the local markets where you can get fresh coconuts and mangos. The falls are located off the beaten path but are well worth the hike! The local guide takes you up to the falls, where you can use a rope swing or, if you\u2019re especially brave, wade out into the roaring water of the falls and jump into the pool below. This is not a highly known tourist attraction so you won\u2019t have to fight through a crowd of people. It will probably just be your group with your guide and a few locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is a bonus video that will make you laugh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jamaican Tour Guide\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MorR04iLtMw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;ve&nbsp;visited&nbsp;Jamaica in the past, tell us the highlights of your trip in the comment section below.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamaica has been a popular tourist destination for decades but with so many Caribbean islands, you may be asking yourself why should you choose Jamaica for your next vacation.
