Jamaica has all the ingredients to please anyone’s vacation. It is committed to tranquility and cozy life, marking a latent predominance of its main daily activities, the same ones that blend in with travelers and tourists from all over, who enjoy the events and their own gastronomy of the region as two key factors for cultural delight.
Jamaica offers everything: small and large coves of white sand in the purest Caribbean style, rugged mountains, cliffs, tropical waterfalls, caves, exceptional climate, cosmopolitan cities, and wild animals that coexist in the middle of the natural habitat… tourists can even swim with dolphins in Jamaica!
The eccentricity of Jamaica lies precisely in this extreme coexistence with nature, the history, the landscape, the food and the influential culture. There is no one who can resist the paradisiacal charm of a place.
Culture
This island in the Caribbean is undoubtedly more than a fantastic tourist destination, as it is also the country of the reggae and Rastafarians; it is worth discovering it from the inside, since it is in the most remote regions where the true Jamaica is discovered: a culture of great contrasts. Jamaica is a meeting point between African culture, Asian and European culture and even the Middle East, allowing people to experience a big cultural diversity.
This British Commonwealth nation gained its independence just fifty years ago. The Jamaican flag symbolizes past and present: the black represents the difficulties, of which this country has had enough. Green represents fertile land and hope, which refers to plantations that are today free from slavery. Gold represents wealth and the rays of the sun.
Gastronomy
When talking about Jamaican food, jerk sauce is present in almost all of the island’s gastronomy and a classic souvenir that tourists carry in small bottles, along with Bob Marley T-shirts and objects that allude to marijuana. The typical dish then combines this sauce with chicken or pork, rice and beans, with an intense, spicy and smoky flavor at the same time. It is accompanied with a flat bread made with yucca.
The other star of Jamaican cuisine is the ackee, the national fruit, shaped like a small pear and deep red in color. It grows on colorful trees that grow to over ten meters and are found throughout the country. The fruit must be cooked before eating it, since it is poisonous, but once boiled it is used as an ingredient in different dishes due to its high protein value. Another Jamaican delicacy is a snack which is sold all over the island and at any time of the day. It is a kind of fried patty made with cornmeal with various fillings, such as chicken or vegetables.
