Dit kun je verwachten

Als je door de mistige Blue Mountains van Jamaica wandelt, neem dan even de tijd om de geur van jasmijn op te snuiven van de witbloemige koffiebomen die zich vermengen met palmen, varens en orchideeën in dit deel van het regenwoud. Terwijl je de paden volgt, hoor je alles over de tradities en technieken van de koffieteelt in deze regio – en waarom de bonen hier tot de meest gewilde – en duurste – ter wereld behoren. Marcus, een lokale gids, legt uit: “De Blue Mountains zijn bijzonder, niet alleen vanwege hun natuur, maar ook vanwege wat ze de boerengemeenschap bieden. De hoge ligging, het koele klimaat en de rijke grond zijn een droom voor koffietelers.”

Het pad voert je op een relaxte trektocht de berg op, langs kleine familieboerderijen waar koffie wordt verbouwd. Hier kom je meer te weten over hoe boeren al sinds de 18e eeuw met de hand rijpe koffiebessen plukken om de milde, fruitige en zoete smaak van Blue Mountain-koffie te creëren. En het landschap heeft hier ook iets heel ouds, alsof je in Jurassic Park bent beland – denk aan een dicht groen regenwoud bezaaid met watervallen, valleien en mistige bergtoppen. Houd je telefoon bij de hand voor foto's.

Na iets meer dan drie kilometer lopen word je beloond met een verfrissende duik in de Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus voegt eraan toe: “Maak je geen zorgen, het is een diep rotsbad met een waterval die erin stroomt, geen wervelende draaikolk. Het staat lokaal bekend als de Fontein van de Jeugd, dus al zwemmend voel je je zo een paar jaar jonger.” Je sluit deze excursie af met een blijvende impact op het lokale groen: je plant een boom als onderdeel van een programma ter ondersteuning van herbebossing en duurzame landbouw in dit deel van Jamaica.

Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour

A tantalising blend of rum, waterfalls and floating bars awaits on this action-packed trip. Showcasing the island's cultural heritage and natural beauty, this excursion has 100% Jamaica stamped all over it. As one of our expert local guides, Floyd says, ‘Experiencing Jamaica through rum tasting, wild swimming at a waterfall and an iconic bar gives you a great perspective on the many attractions of Jamaica. It's like stepping into a living postcard.' Begin your day with a fascinating tour of the Appleton Estate rum factory, renowned for producing some of the finest rums in Jamaica. Floyd enthuses, ‘Discover the distillation process, juice your own sugar cane and savour the honey-coloured rum – it's a truly immersive experience.' Next, you'll be whisked away to the cascading waters of the YS Falls where you can cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools. After lunch, it's time to hop on a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. With luck, you might spot dolphins en route. The Pelican Bar is a ramshackle hut on stilts which has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Be sure to carve your name into the wood as a memento of your visit. After a swim in the natural pools surrounding the bar, round off your day by raising a glass to Jamaica's intoxicating charm.

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

As you hike through the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, take a moment to breathe in the scent of jasmine from the white-flowered coffee trees that mingle with palms, ferns and orchids in this part of the rainforest. Following the trails, you'll hear all about the traditions and techniques of coffee growing in this region – and why its beans are some of the most sought-after – and expensive – in the world. Marcus, a local guide, explains “the Blue Mountains are special, not just for their beauty, but for what they give the farming community. The high altitude, the cool climate and the rich soil are a dream for coffee growers.” The trail will take you on a leisurely trek up the mountain, past small family-owned coffee farms. Here, you'll learn more about how farmers have been harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand, to create the mild, fruity and sweet flavour of Blue Mountain coffee, since the 18th-century. And the scenery here is pretty historic, too, like something out of Jurassic Park – think thick green rainforest dotted with waterfalls, valleys and misty mountain peaks. You'll want to keep your phone handy for pics.After a little over two miles of walking, you'll be rewarded with a cooling dip in the Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus adds “don't worry – it's a deep rocky pool with a waterfall flowing into it – not a swirling vortex! It's locally known as the Fountain of Youth, so come swim off a few years.” Round off the tour by making a lasting impact on the local greenery. You'll plant a tree as part of a programme to support reforestation and sustainable farming in this part of Jamaica.
