Blue Hole Secret Falls the Best Excursion in Jamaica
The Blue Hole or otherwise call the Secret Falls or Irie
Hole is Jamaica’s newest natural tourist attraction that is creating frenzy.
Situated in the district of Lodge just about 30 minutes south east of resort
town of Ocho Rios, the Blue Hole is something to behold and enjoy. At the
moment it is not as touristy as some of the others, so now would be the perfect
time to enjoy the Blue Hole Secret Falls in its pristine state.
The water at this sensational waterfall is blue, fresh and
rejuvenating with deep and shallow areas. The name Blue Hole sums up this place
well although there are a lot more to it. The azure color of the water is
amazing; it is like moving the turquoise Caribbean Sea to mountains and having
it tumbling and gushing down over the rocks.
The indigenous people, the Taíno, name the island Xaymaca in
Arawakan which means land of wood and water because of its many rivers and lush
vegetation, also the other meaning is ‘Land of Springs’. There are about 120
rivers on the island most of which flow to the coastal area from the central
ranges. Consequently, these mountains provide ample drop offs for the many
springs and aqua-ducks to be found in and around these mountains resulting in
some of the most majestic water falls. The Blue Hole, Dunn’s River Falls, Somerset
Falls, Reach Falls, YS Falls are some of the better ones to be found on the
island which are also easily accessible.
However, it is arguable, but the Blue Hole ‘Secret Falls’ is
the best of them all; visitors to this waterfall can do so much more than at
the others. It has many deep pools that allow diving, rope swings, jumping or
just Plain River frolics. If you will be visiting the north coast of Jamaica
this should be on the agenda. It is one of those must see places in Jamaica.
