The drive through here was great! If you like nature the fresh air will awaken your senses. There are numerous species of fern plants. It is downright lovely to see. We drove from Kingston to Ocho Rios to Negril and then back to Montego Bay then back to Ochi and I looked forward to seeing this gully again. Don't waste... More
