Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park

The Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park spans 41,000 acres with elevations reaching 7,400 feet, containing dense rainforests and diverse ecosystems.

The mountains served as a strategic stronghold for Maroon communities who established settlements after escaping from plantations during the colonial period.

Traditional practices of Maroon communities, including music, dance, and community gatherings, continue within the protected boundaries of the national park.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails through entrance points in Portland Parish, with local guides available for mountain expeditions and birdwatching tours.

The park contains over 800 species of plants, including rare flowering plants and the cultivation zones for certified Blue Mountain Coffee production.
