You step off the air‑conditioned van into a humid burst of tropical green — the roar of water and the distant pulse of reggae weave together. At Dunn’s River Falls the limestone terraces spill toward the sea; cool water pulls at your calves as guides form human chains to steady the climb. Later, the road climbs into the island’s interior and Nine Mile unfolds: a humble yard, a simple wooden home, and a mausoleum where Bob Marley’s presence is felt in stories, artifacts, and the steady rhythm of Rastafarian life.
