The Green Grotto Caves (day 4 final)

On the final day in Jamaica we desided to go to Ocho Rios and visit the green grotto caves. They are known as the Runaway Bay Caves, Cave Hall Caves, Discovery Bay Caves, Dry Harbour Caves, Hopewell Caves, Rum Caves and Dairy Caves. The various names were given because there are traces of indians who sheltered there and the remains of smugling of running arms to cuba between the two world wars.

Green Grotto is 1,525 metres long and 12 metres deep and has numerous chambers and light holes and a subterranean lake, the Grotto Lake.


They are among Jamaica's most prominent natural attractions. They are of international repute and have been seeing visitors since the 18th century.

Entering the cave was a beautiful sight, you could see the limestone hanging from the roof like ice taps.

 

As we went deeper into the cave we found out that the cave was like a neverending labyrinth. At one point we acually saw the Grotto Lake, it was amazing, a lake in the cave there were waterfalls to! 

The guide showed us one of the chambers in the cave where we could eat our lunch. To eat lunch in that amazing natural laburinth was defintly a memoriable event. After that the guide showed us the way out and we went back to the hotel to pack our things.
As we checked out of the hotel we went to the airport and said a final goodbye to jamaica.
Of to New Zealand!
