Jamaica
Jamaica is a Caribbean island known for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture. Originally inhabited by the Taino, it was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1494 and became a Spanish colony before coming under British control in 1655. Slavery, which lasted until 1838, had a lasting impact on the island's culture and population. Jamaica gained independence from the UK in 1962. Today, it's famous for reggae music, brought to the world by Bob Marley, and for products like Blue Mountain coffee. Major attractions include Dunn’s River Falls, the Blue Mountains, and Negril, known for its white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.
