Jamaican Caves

Thanks to the limestone that makes up much of Jamaica, the island has over 1,100 caves. Some, such as the Nonsuch Cave near Port Antonio, offer guided tours, but for the most part the caves are for real adventure travelers who want to explore independently. Karst, a limestone terrain marked by sinkholes and underground caverns, is found near the Cockpit Country, the region in the island’s interior that remains as untamed as it was in the days of the Arawaks.

AUTHORS’ TIP: You should hire an experienced local guide for cave exploration (for more on that, see the interview below), and also let your hotel know where you are going and when you expect to return.
