Dunns River Falls
One of the top attractions in Jamaica, Dunns River falls is an unending flow of crystal clear, cool, fresh water decending rapidly over the rocks into the Caribbean Sea.
Formally called "Las Chorreras" - waterfalls or springs by the spanish settlers, it is truly one of the most breathtaking landmarks on the island.
Approximately 3.1 miles from the thriving resort center of Ocho Rios, it is a major attraction for visitors and locals alike...
First owned by Charles Price after the British - Spanish war fought in 1657 for control of the island, it later became part of the 276 acre Belmont property which was later taken over by the Jamaican government in 1972 for development as a national recreational park.
Today it is under the management of the St. Ann Development Company (SADCo).
New roads and improved parking facilities allows for easy access to and from the park as well as to the top of the falls.
Terracing decks provides easy access to just about any part of the fall itself plus immediate access to various scenic views of distant horizons.
