Stop 1

Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well-known as Reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las Chorreras" - the waterfalls or springs - and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island. A stone's throw from Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica's fastest growing resort centres, Dunn's River Falls is unique. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock, the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as it flows over the falls. The small dome-shaped cataracts are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives Dunn's River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Caribbean, if not the world.

Scotchie's Ocho Rios is the place to grab mouth-watering jerk dishes, sides and soups. Rustic, yet homely, and conveniently located in Drax Hall, the restaurant is open from 11:00a.m. - 11:00p.m., Scotchie's Drax Hall is the place to enjoy two great Jamaicans - jerk meats and Red Stripe Beer. Jerk chicken is an authentic style of Jamaican cooking where the poultry is dry-rubbed with special seasonings and peppers. While there are a ton of places on the island that cook good jerk, no place does it better than Scotchies. With one of their prime destinations being in Ocho Rios, the rustic restaurant serves up a wide variety of jerked items including chicken, pork, and sausages. There’s also a ton of other tasty options too like the roast fish (a classic!), hot dogs, BBQ ribs, and burgers. The availability of these items may depend greatly on your location and the day you visit.
