Green Grotto Caves
Jamaica's most prominent natural attraction are the caves on the
island's north coast, between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, just a few
kilometres from Discovery Bay and Runaway Bay. The huge
labyrinthine limestone cave found here is 5,003 feet (1,525m) long
and characterised by stalactites, stalagmites, overhead ceiling
pockets, numerous chambers, light holes, and in its depths a
subterranean lake. The caves have played an important role in
Jamaican history, from when the Arawak Indians used them for
shelter. They have been used as a hideout for Spaniards during the
British take-over, a haven for runaway slaves, and even as a den
for smugglers running arms to Cuba.
