    Jamaica is indeed the land of natural beauty. Rich in history and culture. The only thing lacking in Jamaica is good quality leadership. The kind of leadership that helps us realize our true potential. I just subscribe to your channel.

      We’re getting there. Many of my people are unaware of the treasure that Jamaica is. We as a nation need to take pride in our island, keep it clean, play our part in reducing crime , build good customer service and stop expecting the government to solve all our problems. We love to put down our island and build up foreign countries.

    Surrounded by so much beauty,yet so much hates in many hearts

      Work to get rid of “hate”. That negative energy is not mentally, physically or emotionally healthy. It is okay to separate from harmful things and people, even places that in our memory were sad. Find a peaceful balance and thrive. You deserve to be happy.

      Hate is everywhere. Surround yourself with positive people and be the change you want to see. Only heaven is perfect.

    This is a flash back to the past, I bet this was all filmed in the 80's someone should show the same path and places updated from 2024. Loved the music too. One Love 💕

      It looks like the 90's... She said UTECH, if it was the 80's more likely she would have said CAST.

      @@emersonchandor8982 I am A Jamaican, definitely Not the 70's.. In one of the interview, the interviewee mentioned "Utech", previously known as CAST (before 1986)... Hence, the video is probably from 1987-1995..

    Awesome tour of the blue mountains and scenery. Reminds me of vacation as child in the region next to the mountain. The coffee picking cold nights and ice cold water when showering😅😅😅 still fun memories just watching😊 the music was great as well , one love😊

    It's such a pity that the video resolution is only 480. So much of the natural beauty is lost. If it was 720 or, better 1080, the views would have been phenomenal. But with what you had, it was a job well done. Thank you for bringing back so many memories.

    It's not often that I sit through such an extensive UA-cam presentation I didn't move from my seat. I watched to the end of this enthralling drive through the luxuriant and lush Blue Mountain, like the natural and recorded music. I have been near to the peak but not gone such distance. Now I see its Barbara Blake narration. I hope to do the journey before I move on. Thanks for the documentary and sharing our picturesque Jamaica,

    As a preteen, my friends & I hiked from Paine to New Castle where we spent the night in the soldier’s barracks. Because it was colder than we’re accustomed, wool blankets were provided. Years later my university in upstate NY, offered a course In Tropical Botany, Hardware Gap was where we collected ferns for our studies. I love traveling through the Blue & John Crow Mountains, UNESCO heritage site.

    Vicariously, you took your viewers on a beautiful journey. The views are spectacular and beautiful,while I can appreciate the beauty and various eatery and the in-stays,my only issues are: Why are all the proprietors of Europe descendants? The answer lies within us,therefore, rhetorical questions.

    • @jayridge8804

      Why are you perpetuating prejudice and racism? We all belong, as we are all immigrants. It’s time to move on and thrive no matter the colour of your skin. Just a reminder, anyone improving the economy by hiring locals and bringing tourists to the country is welcome.
      Stop whining and big up u-self and be decent.
