WHAT YOU VISIT
The Heartbeat of Jamaica: Discover Falmouth
Join in the vibrant spirit of Jamaica with a tour of the capital of the Parish of Trelawny. Your driver/guide will share highlights of local history and culture as you drive past historical and famous sites all the way into the town of Greenwood. Here, you'll disembark at Irie Flava Restaurant for a look at its 18th century cooking implements, utensils and other historical household items followed by a tasting of Jamaican food and desserts. After your delicious feast, you'll join resident craft vendor Miss Robbie for a demonstration in making Jamaican craft items. Then, get on your feet and learn Jamaican dances such as Ska and Dancehall.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
A photo stop at the lovely St. Peter's Anglican Church offers look at one of the oldest structures in Jamaica. Built on land donated by wealthy landowner Edward Barrett (Elizabeth Barrett Browning's great-grandfather) and John Tharpe, owner of Good Hope Plantation in 1796, the brick-and-stone building stands as one of the oldest structures in Jamaica.
SNACKS
At the Irie Flava Restaurant, you'll get a taste of ackee and saltfish, Jamaica's national dish made with sautéed salt cod (saltfish) and the cooked flesh of the ackee fruit. Other island favorites include jerk chicken, codfish fritters, bammy (a flatbread made from grated, pressed, and toasted cassava root), roasted yellow yams, a fried dumpling called festival, Johnny cake and seasonal fruit. Sweet treats on the menu include blue drawers, a traditional Jamaican steamed pudding and Devon House ice cream. Refreshments include rum punch or lemonade.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Overlooking Falmouth Harbor, the Falmouth Courthouse was one of the first official buildings in town. Originally erected in 1815, it was rebuilt after it was destroyed by fire in 1926 and is considered an excellent example of Jamaican Georgian architecture.
