By every Judgment of Nature-made beauty,
Jamaica is one of the world's most beautiful places.
Columbus, the Great Sailor who discovered the New World, described Jamaica poetically as "the finest land that eyes have beheld". Millions of travelers have since agreed with him.Land of mountains and sparkling rivers, of foliage that stays green even in severe roughs, of extensive white sand beaches bordering the blue Caribbean Sea, of rapturous sunsets, Jamaica is a showpiece of Nature at her best.
Flowers bloom everywhere, and the whole countryside looks like a vast garden. Driving through the island on the great cross-country roads from Kingston, the capital, to Montego Bay on the north coast, and the other world-renowned tourist resort are as of Ocho Rios, Negril and Port Antonio, the traveler passes through green canefields, broad acres of banana farms, picturesque coconut and citrus groves.
Views of sea and mountains are on every side in this miniature continent; and by many a coastal road a mountain stream splashes clown it silvery spray in cascading waterfall or rushing torrent towards the sea.Land of perpetual summer, the island knows no winter. The seasonal rein which makes the vegetation lush and plentiful is sufficient to aid Nature 's task of preserving and distributing the beauty.
As someone has aptly put it, Jamaica is "no atoll of sand with a few palm trees on it".
It is a large, colourful island, with cloud-capped mountains that appear blue in the distance, and deep wooded valleys; an island of great and small rivers that rise in the heights and wend their way to the waiting sea.
Truly, this is a vacationer's paradise, a holiday-maker's fondest dream. And a land loved and worshipped by its happy, peaceful people with all the idolatry that true lovers of Nature profess.
