Truly a nation "out of many, one people" Jamaica is a multifaceted mosaic of international customs and traditions. Ancestors, from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, have helped to shape the culture, creating one that is uniquely Jamaican. When visiting, take time to experience the culture... it's what sets Jamaica apart from other Caribbean destinations. Reason with a Rastafarian about life, love or politics. Lose yourself in the rhythms and movements of people who still refuse to be constrained. Visit one of their many theatres or stage shows and delight in their performing arts, showcasing everything from Jonkonnu to jazz. Want to dance too? Join in the wild revelry of Carnival and Augus' Mawnin or just follow the reggae beat, pulsing from street corners and rum bars island wide. After that, share a meal with a local - ackee and saltfish with roast breadfruit, escoveitched fish, bammy and festival - these epicurean feasts will tantalize your taste buds. In Jamaica, you'll discover new worlds, and familiar ones too, lots to learn about, and even more to love. No wonder they've been called 'the biggest little island in the world...'
“The biggest little island in the world!”
