You step out of an air‑conditioned van and the island exhales: humid air, the scent of wet limestone, and the steady roar of water ahead. The day's route threads from Montego Bay east through sugarcane fields to Saint Ann, where the Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls wait as two very different faces of Jamaica’s rivers—one a series of jade pools tucked into jungle, the other a terraced cascade that pushes seawater back toward the beach.
