Jamaica lies about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 191 kilometres (119 mi) west of Hispaniola (the island containing the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic). *Kingston (map), the capital city and centre of business, located on the south coast. *Montego Bay (map), one of the best known cities in the Caribbean for tourism, located on the north coast.

*Negril (map) is famous for its 7 miles of cool, white sand beaches and another 7 miles of 40′ cliffs. One of the most beautiful towns in Jamaica, it has a more laid back atmosphere than that of Montego Bay and is more touristy than *Ocho Rios (map).

Somewhere between the vibrant energy of our culture and the warm tranquility of our island is where the magic happens. And when it does, look out, there’s no telling what you’re capable of. It’s time! Don’t you think?
