Blue Mountain Peak, Mountain summit in eastern Jamaica.
Blue Mountain Peak reaches 2,256 meters in elevation, making it the highest point in Jamaica and one of the tallest mountains in the Caribbean region.
The mountain slopes provided refuge for Maroon communities during the colonial period, where they established independent settlements away from plantation territories.
Local communities in the mountain area maintain traditional coffee cultivation methods, producing the internationally recognized Blue Mountain coffee beans.
Hikers need to start their journey before dawn to complete the 11-kilometer trek, with temperatures dropping significantly as elevation increases.
From the peak on clear mornings, visitors can see both Jamaican coastlines and the outline of Cuba, located 210 kilometers across the Caribbean Sea.
