Top places to visit in Jamaica in November
With the hurricane season coming to an end and tourism is still relatively low, November would be an ideal time to visit Jamaica's best attraction without having to deal with the large crowds. Dunn's River Fall in Ocho Rios is a living testimony to Jamaica's outstanding natural beauty. This giant waterfall is genuinely unique- 55 metres wide and 180 metres long and shaped like monumental rock stairs. Those brave enough can climb up the limestone rock's tiers, leading to several smaller waterfalls and pools. An exhilarating adventure but remember to pack your trunks.
