Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Here guest will discover cave paintings, tools and fragments of pottery that indicates the original inhabitants of the caves were the Taino Indians who would have used the caves for shelter. The next known inhabitants were the Spanish who, at the time of the British invasion of Jamaica (in 1655), hid in the caves to avoid capture. There is an underground tunnel which links the caves to the sand at Runaway Bay. It is believed that the Spanish used the tunnel in their attempt to escape the Island and flee to Cuba. Runaway slaves have also used the caves to hide from their former masters. During World War 2, Rum barrels were stored here for safekeeping by the Jamaican Government.

About Trelawny

Trelawny is a rural parish on Jamaica's north coast, home to the Georgian port of Falmouth, a glowing lagoon and the Martha Brae River.

Falmouth, the parish capital, was once one of the busiest ports on the island, and it keeps one of the finest collections of Georgian buildings in the Caribbean, including its courthouse and old Anglican church. Cruise ships call at its harbour, and the historic streets are pleasant to walk.
