Christiana Sights

  1. Christiana Bottom

    This beautiful riverside spot, in a valley bottom below the town, has a waterfall plus picnic spots framed by bamboo. Two sinkholes full of crystal-clear water offer refreshing dips. You can hike from the center of town, though the going at the lower reaches can be muddy and slippery. Take the road that leads east from the National Commercial Bank; it's 3km from here. Take the first left and then the second left.

  2. Gourie Forest Reserve

    This forest reserve of pines, mahogany and mahoe growing atop and betwixt dramatic cockpits is 3km northwest of the Christiana, near Coleyville. The park is laced with hiking trails. Gourie is most noteworthy for having Jamaica's longest cave system. Two spelunking routes have been explored. One of the routes is easy; the other is difficult and made more so by the presence of an icy river. Rubber-soled shoes are required and a guide is essential.
