Jamaica
Jamaica is a compact island of striking contrasts: the Blue Mountains rising steeply from Kingston's humid streets, limestone cliffs dropping into turquoise water, and a musical culture — reggae, dancehall, mento — that has influenced the world far beyond its size. Life here moves between intense heat and sudden tropical downpours, and the smell of jerk smoke is never far from any roadside.
