Description
A 20-mile drive from Port Antonio will bring you to the Village of Nonsuch, where a legendary Arawak civilization remains a part of the community. This is where you will find Athenry Gardens, a three-acre park of fertile vegetation and tropical surroundings. Below, you can explore stalagmites and stalactites in caves made for discovery. Small walkways, stairs and adequate lighting help you through this underworld that is believed to be 1.5 million years old; knowledgeable guides are available. On the surface, you can roam through gardens filled with coconut trees and exotic flowers, and stop for some breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.
