A warm inland wind pushes through stands of bamboo as the road falls away from Montego Bay and the coastline becomes a patchwork of cane fields and low limestone ridges. Arriving at YS Falls, the seven-tiered cataract announces itself in a chorus of rushing water and birdsong; natural plunge pools invite you to cool off while a canopy line threads the treetops above, giving riders a brisk, panoramic drop toward the river.
