Jamaica - South Coast & Central Highlands (PDF Chapter)

This is the South Coast & Central Highlands chapter from Lonely Planet’s Jamaica guidebook.

Southwest Jamaica feels like a clandestine paradise for the trickle of off-island visitors who make it this far. The region’s most notable sights – the Black River, YS Falls and the Appleton Rum Estate – are usually visited by day-trippers on organized excursions from resorts in Negril and Montego Bay.
