If you know coffee, you know Jamaica's Blue Mountains; indeed, many hikes into this cool, rugged region weave through coffee fields. Just keep in mind that Jamaica is not the safest place to veer off the beaten path without a guide or at least some direction from a tour company — there are some well-protected ganja fields hidden out there. The Blue Mountains-John Crow National Park is filled with sites to challenge adventure travelers of all types — hikers, birders, mountain bikers, and more.
