In the eastern part of Jamaica, the Rio Grande meanders through the lush interior rainforest, making it one of the largest and most scenic rivers on the island. Historically, locals used the river to transport goods, and it is recognized as the birthplace of bamboo river rafting in Jamaica. Today, visitors can experience this traditional activity, which has become a popular attraction in the Portland area. The tranquil journey along the river offers a unique perspective of the surrounding tropical landscape, with the gentle sounds of water and the vibrant greenery enveloping the senses.
