Waterfalls Dunn's River (Dunn's River Falls) have a very interesting story. Rumor has it that this was the place where the legendary battle of Las Chorreras occurred in 1657 between the expeditions of the English and the Spanish from Cuba for ownership of the island.
The immense beauty of the Dunns River waterfalls in Jamaica
These waterfalls are one of the most beautiful places on the planet, which simply must see a connoisseur of real natural beauty. In addition, I would like to note that Dunns River, located in Ocho Rios - one of the most popular Jamaican attractions.
All tourists coming to the waterfalls, meets the "local resident" Bunny - a donkey, whose name is known throughout the world. People from all over the world are photographed with this cute animal.
No less interesting feature of the attraction is that near the waterfall there is a beach. There they rest, sunbathe and bathe as visitors, and local. From here you can start climbing a waterfall - this is one of the most popular tourist attractions here. The most proven way to climb to the top of Dunns River is to form a live chain with your tour group, taking each other's hands. By the way, it's better not to get on the dark stones - most likely, they are very slippery. During this kind of waterfall climbing, it is recommended to listen to the guide's recommendations. After all, no one is immune from serious injuries as a result of falling from a stony path.
Dunn's River is the sound of streams of water that embrace rocks, the smell of fresh river water hanging in the air, the cool shadows of lush exotic trees and the scent of flowering plants. For a moment, you might get the impression that you are somewhere in the middle of the Amazon jungle, and not in Jamaica .
By the way, if you were the lucky one who finally found the strength and climbed to the top of the Dunns River Falls, then from there you will see a small billboard with congratulatory words. It must be photographed. It will become a symbol of your pride: not every traveler, and even a local resident, manages to become the ruler of this waterfall.
It would be superfluous to add that there is a small souvenir shop on the territory of the sights, where everyone will necessarily find some unusual gift for himself. This souvenir will be a reminder for you of traveling to this wonderful place on the edge of the earth.
How to get there?
From Ocho Rios every day until 10:00 to go to the waterfalls tourist buses. If you decide to get to the waterfalls on your own, then it's best to do this by moving along the A3 highway. Do not forget that the Dunns River is 3 kilometers west of the city.
