Hidden in Jamaica

I struggle with sharing this since some of these places are still unspoiled by tourism. So please, treasure this information and be respectful of the culture and local presence at these sites.

Lover's Leap - a romantic tale about Mizzy and Tunkey; two lovers who jumped from the cliff together rather than being forced to live apart (a Jamaican Romeo and Juliet of sorts!) The cliff views are magnificent and the restaurant serves delicious Jamaican food. 

Windsor Mineral Spring aka "fire water" - The spring has fire burning atop the water's surface. Guests can get a massage and experience this unique phenomenon. Unregulated and not a common tourist spot, this is a local and authentic experience.

Reggae Falls - A natural and rustic way to experience a gorgeous waterfall with beautiful hills in the distance. This location is mainly visited by locals who like to keep it a hidden gem.

Irie River Park - Jamaica offers so many waterfall locations, it's hard to choose, but Irie River Park has something for everyone. Rope swing, picnic area, waterfalls, lush natural beauty - a true delight!

Reach Falls - Hike to falls, enjoy the cascading waterfall with lush greenery and a picnic area.  If you dare to hike upstream, you can see the underwater cave. Beware, there are "unofficial tours" and this is part of the rugged, natural landscape of Jamaica.
