For such an important part of Jamaican history you would think that the Jamaican tourist board would get its act together. For a country that relies heavily on tourism, it has proved very difficult to get information that is accurate and coordinated. For example we found it impossible to find any accurate info on the battle site. Web sites said one thing and telephone conversations said something else. The web site said it shut at midday. When we got there the security guard said it shut at 15.00 and the sign at the site said it shut at 17.00! Got there at 11.30 and the museum was shut. The battle site consisted of 2 rusty cannons lying on the ground, some broken chairs scattered around and a rather boring concrete block that acted as a memorable. Many of the tourist sites in Jamaica are not geared up for tourist! Come on Ja tourist board, sort it out.

The History of Rio Nuevo is very interesting but they have eliminated most of the ruin so not worth the drive in to the site, better to read about it
