And the seemingly endless hours of warm Caribbean sunshine. A trip to Jamaica may include river rafting, waterfall climbing, horseback riding, beachcombing, ballooning, diving, mountain biking, snorkeling or just relaxing in a swaying hammock watching the sunet.

Though the majority of the population is from African decent, there are people from Eurpean, Arabic, Chinese and East Indian ancestry as well. The Jamaica people are multiracial blend.

Once a Spanish colony, Jamaica came under the British rule in 1655 until 1962 when the county became and independent nation.

Larger and more varied than most visitors expect, Jamaica can't be explored in a few days. Its diverse physical beauty makes it an island that appeals to visitors worldwide. From the high peaks of the Blue Mountan, the dramatic water falls, white sanded beaches Jamaica is waiting to be discovered by you. There is no place on Earth like Jamaica.

Regardless of when you visit, you're almost always assured of short-sleeve weather, balmy trade winds and plenty of sun. Temperatures vary only about 10° between summer and winter. The hottest months are July and August, when temperatures top out at 85 to 90°; the coolest month is February, when highs can reach 86-90° and nighttime can dip as low as the mid-60s.

The busiest tourist months constitute "high season" - the months between December 15 and April 15. During this time, rates are at their highest (and really reach a peak during the week between Christmas and New Year's).

TIP: Rooms can sometimes be difficult to come by at top resorts during high season, so plan ahead.

The "shoulder seasons," the months on each side of high season, are very pleasant weather-wise, yet you'll find prices much lower during this period. The least expensive times to visit are during the summer months and the peak of hurricane season (August through October). Remember, hurricanes are forecast days in advance, so keep abreast of conditions and you should have time to reschedule in the event that a hurricane is visiting at the same time you are.

TIP:Recently, many of the largest resorts have started instituting a "hurricane guarantee," offering guests their money back for days lost to bad weather.

Water temperatures dip slightly during the winter months, when they average 80°. During the summer, the waters warm to about 84°, a balmy bath-like temperature that makes wet suits strictly optional.
