Black River
Jamaica's Black River on the South Coast is a relaxing excursion
from the beach activities that can become monotonous on an island
getaway. Tourists can visit the river and take a boat tour up the
waters to explore the wetlands and mangrove swamps along its banks.
The river is home to a number of bird and wildlife species,
including the endangered American Crocodile.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language of Jamaica is English but a local
patois is also spoken, a mixture of English, Spanish, and various
African languages.
Money
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is divided into 100 cents. The island
is well supplied with ATMs, banks and bureaux de change. Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday from 9am to 2pm, and Friday
from 9am to 4pm. Cambio exchange offices are found throughout the
country, open later than banks and often offering better exchange
rates. Retain receipts as proof of legal currency exchange.
Exchange bureaux at the airports and hotels also offer better rates
than banks. Major credit cards and travellers cheques are widely
accepted. Both cash and travellers cheques are best taken in US
Dollars.
