A cool Caribbean morning unfurls as an air-conditioned van eases away from Montego Bay hotels, palms sliding by like sentries. By the time you reach the foothills outside Ocho Rios, the road tightens and the landscape grows denser: bamboo thickets, banana palms, and wild pawpaw frame the trailhead where guides outfit you for a two-hour ride with local "Bushmasters."
