A peaceful moment for you today



A hidden gem, Reach Falls are among Jamaica's prettiest and most peaceful falls. You can stand under the streaming cascades, explore underwater caves, and swim in the fern-fringed waters surrounded by rainforest - more than 20 different species of ferns grow in this emerald forest.

A whiff of forest scent,
Balsam and fern,
Won from dreary mood
My heart's return,
From its discontent,
Joy's run-away,
To the sweet, wise wood
And the laughing day.

The Creed of the Wood

What an awesome place! What part of the island is this near? We've only been to the Dunns River Falls area and we love it there and love going down the White River too. I'd love to visit other areas there, but don't know where to go. Guess it doesn't really matter at this time anyway, won't be flying anytime soon.
