Itinerário

1. Here you 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 Port Antonio

Port Antonio is a small harbour town on Jamaica's north-east coast, close to the Blue Lagoon, Reach Falls and the bamboo rafts of the Rio Grande.

Port Antonio sits on a bay facing the Caribbean, in the parish of Portland, with hills rising steeply behind the town. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was a busy port for the banana trade, and its quiet streets still hold buildings from that era.
