3. • Jamaica's rich history stretches back beyond the 15th century, and includes
the settlements of the gentle Arawak Indians (who named the island
Xaymaca), Spanish mariners, English conquerors, and Asian migrants, all of
whom added to the multi-ethnic heritage of this Caribbean island. Modern
Jamaica is the land of reggae and rum, wearing a mantle of roughshod
romance that attracts travelers the world over looking to escape the routine
of daily life. The landscape is a mosaic of palmed golden beaches and a
beautiful mountainous interior.
• Once the crown jewel of the British sugar empire, its coastal plains and lofty
jungles are still dotted with colonnaded mansions, thriving plantations, and
ruins of others that did not survive the slave rebellions. Many of the
remaining mansions are now opulent inns flanked not only by the sugar
fields, but also by golf courses, while the beaches that once harbored
ruthless, notorious pirates now harbor vacationers seeking the perfect tan.
And you'll note that music is the heartbeat of Jamaica; nearly everywhere
you go you feel its rhythm pulsing through the air, the marketplaces, through
the locals and, soon enough, through you. For vacationers with a free and
festive spirit, Jamaica is your place to shine!
