We visited the garden/gallery and were so happy we did! It offers a beautiful and lush respite from the touristy Montego Bay hip strip. Ras greeted us and gave a brief history of the home/garden/museum and interesting experience of building on the steep hillside/cliff while a hummingbird landed in my hand to feed from the feeder. The guide was very informative and pleasant. It rained while we were there which seemed only to enhance the experience...they provided us with umbrellas.

I highly recommend the tour of Sandra Farms. Until this tour, I had no idea that quality coffee is actually produced in the US, and I've been roasting my own coffee at home for years. I've always wanted to visit an active coffee farm and Israel's tour did not disappoint! I learned a bunch and thoroughly enjoyed the coffee, chocolate and the views. Hearing Israel talk, you can really feel his passion for producing top grade coffee and you gain an appreciation for this unique place. Sure, the road in is a bit of an adventure, but that's just part of the fun! (and it's really not that bad) :-P And for other coffee geeks out there: After getting their green coffee home and trying different roast levels, my favorite is right around City+. It's bright and nutty with hints of fruit (to my palate). It compares well to other premium gourmet and boutique coffees. [Sandra Farms, Wet Process, Medium Coffee.

Santo Domingo is the true metropolis of the Caribbean. It has dozens of 30 plus story buildings challenging notions of quaint tropical settings. Santo Domingo continues to rise and surprise visitors and locals.

Good place to stop and stretch, beautiful view. There were several vendors, so some folks found entertainment in shopping, while others enjoyed the views and took many photos.
5. Fuerte Capron
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Reviewed By 963milliev
It had been years since I last visited the Guánica Dry Forest, and it was even more beautiful than I remembered. The park opens promptly at 8:30 am and admittance is free of charge. By 8:45 am we were on our way to Fuerte Carpón, and the temperature was already 86 degrees F. There's a parking area and visitor center in which you must register before going on any of the hiking trails. There are 2 ways to get to Fuerte Carpón: there's a shorter trail that takes about 20 mins. to get there, and there's the longer trail of about 6 miles total, which is the one we took. It took us about 1 hr. each way, and with stops and such, you should plan for about 3 hours for the entire excursion. The road to get there is rocky and for the most part flat, but there are however a few hills in which you should pace yourself, specially on the way back from the fort. You will see different bird species along the way, some of which, oddly enough, will even pose for pictures. You will also see different plants and cactus. As you approach the latter part of the trail you will be able to see the beautiful scenery, with stunning views of the Malecón and Caribbean Sea. You will also approach some flags that are located on the right - just remember to veer to the left at the next intersection and Fuerte Carpón will be just further ahead. Once you get to the Fort, you will start wondering why you didn't take the shorter trail! But once you're there you'll be able to take some really nice pictures and enjoy the warm Caribbean breeze. The fort itself is smaller than I expected, and has some graffiti, but it's truly remarkable to see how well those ruins have sustained for so many years. It's been said in previous reviews to take plenty of water with you, and I can't stress that enough. The humidity and weather can become oppressive and your body will be asking for hydration. We ran out of water mid-way and wished we had taken more. This experience was definitely worth the hike and definitely great exercise. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes appropriate for hiking/walking, and appropriate sportswear. Sunscreen, hats and shades are also a must.

Also known as Fort George, this fort was built in 1689 to defend the British settlers against invasions from the French and the Arawak indians.

An early morning hike up this hill provided exercise, a picturesque view and great opportunity to see a historical site. The st. George Fort as it is also called gives one a glimpse into bygone slavery days.

Great hike on a paved path. Beautiful lush green rainforest with beautiful fauna and flowers. So peaceful and serene listening to the coqui frogs as we hiked. Watch for the Humming birds. They are everywhere.

The vantage point where Sir Francis Drake was supposed to have looked for enemy ships of the Spanish fleet, this lookout includes a panoramic view of the Virgin Islands where the Atlantic Ocean joins the Caribbean Sea
Reviewed By 994linday - Frisco, United States
Located just minutes from the Charlotte Amalie Lookout, this breathtaking scenic point provides panoramic views of Magens Bay and the islands. There are a limited number of parking spots available. The green weathered bench seat is across the street (be careful crossing the road). The local legend is that Sir Francis Drake used this vantage point to watch his fleet and be on the lookout for the enemy. It is a great story, but the truth is that Drake’s Seat was built in 1933 by Arthur Fairchild. Mr. Fairchild was a former wall street genius, philanthropist (he is the one that gifted the land at Magens Bay to the people) and longtime island resident. Back in the 1930s, travelling the hilly terrain of St. Thomas was by horse or foot. The location of Drake’s Seat was the perfect place to rest and gaze down at Megans Bay. And it still is today! You’ll get a more expansive panorama from Mountain Top, but I love this view too. The Charlotte Amalie Lookout, Drake’s Seat, Mountain Top and Megans Bay can all be visited in the same trip.
