WHAT YOU VISIT
Yaaman Adventure Park
The sprawling 999-acre 18th century former plantation is home to banana, cassava, sugar cane, coffee, allspice and many other crops. A scenic ride along the coast in the jitney, an open-air tractor-drawn carriage, ends with a leisurely walk through a beautiful ornamental garden.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
During your scenic walk through the lush garden, you'll be surrounded by a wide variety of herbs, tropical plants, and beautiful and fragrant flowers such as cat whiskers with its spikes of long white stamens and plumbago, prized for its profusion of blue phlox-like flowers. At the end of the garden path you'll have awesome panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. It is said that on a very clear day, you can see the shoreline of Cuba, located only 90 miles away.
LUNCH
Join Chef Irie at the historic Great House for a cooking lesson and learn how to prepare local favorites such as jerk chicken, steamed callaloo (a leafy green vegetable), festival bread (a fried dough similar to slightly sweet cornmeal fritters), rice and peas. Then, sit down and enjoy your culinary creation while gazing out at the Caribbean Sea.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you make your way to Yaaman Adventure Park, it may be interesting to note that the area was bounced back and forth between the Spanish and British but it was pirates who made Ocho Rios their home until the mid-1800s.
