The Blue Mountains | Jamaica


Unesco whs Jamaica

Postcard
The Blue Mountains are the longest mountain range in Jamaica. It is part of UNESCO World Heritage site Blue and John Crow mountains.

The site encompasses a rugged and extensively forested mountainous region in the south-east of Jamaica, which provided refuge first for the indigenous Tainos fleeing slavery. They resisted the European colonial system in this isolated region by establishing a network of trails, hiding places and settlements.
