This past summer my husband, Chris, and I took a cruise to the Western Caribbean. One of our stops was in Jamaica and we went to Dunn's River Falls. It is a waterfall that is approximately 180 feet tall and stretches over 600 feet long. While it has some slight man made improvements, it is mostly natural and you can climb up this waterfall. It has several lagoons, some of which are up to 5 feet deep.
Dunn's River Falls are fed by spring water, which is rich with calcium carbonate and depositing travertine. These falls are described by geologists as "a living phenomenon" because they are continuously rebuilt by the sediments in the spring water.
It was one of the coolest things we have ever done and although not all of the climbing was easy, it was well worth it. I highly recommend you visit Dunn's River Falls in Ochos Rios, Jamaica!
I also recommend you use a better water camera so it doesn't mess up like ours did. Oh well, guess we will have to go again!
