ShareThisFern Gully - Ocho Rios, Jamaica
A former river bed, it is now possible to walk three miles through the valley in the shadows of magnificent ferns and hardwood trees. Jamaica has more than 500 species of ferns, and you can see at least 300 of them in this dark, shaded gorge almost 3 miles in length.
Until an earthquake around 1907, the gorge was one of the eight flowing rivers of the Ocho Rios area. The river disappeared during the earthquake and the river bed was turned into a paved road.
The dense fern growth appears to have been growing in place since the beginning of time, despite such a recent start.
The trip up Fern Gully is breathtaking. At one time it was a stream that had cut a deep valley in the mountain and over time has been populated with dense rain forest vegetation, including many varieties of ferns, hence the name Fern Gully.
