Description:
- Nestled in the quiet district of Guanaboa Vale is Jamaica's earliest cave paintings. To reach this historic site, go to Cudjoe Hill to find a guide authorized by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust. The trip to the cave includes climbing a hill, but it is great fun as you play hop-scotch on the boulders as you cross the Mountain River. The path leading to the cave is lined with tropical fruits, breadfruit, cocoa, etc. The paintings are on the ceilings, depicting birds, frogs and tall human-like beings with bird heads. After visiting the caves, have a picnic by the river, much like those long ago artists. To arrange visits contact the Jamaica National Heritage Trust. The visit is free of cost.
