Jamaica is rich in limestone so our rivers flow long and laboriously through this porous rock, carving out hundreds of caves, caverns and cascades in their path. Mayfield Falls is another example of this. It’s impossible to capture all 21 of its small cascades in a single shot, but it’s nice being able to get close to and interact with each and every one if you desire. In fact, I urge you to. That’s the fun of “going river” in Jamaica. You get to enjoy back massages from nature while slipping, sliding and scrambling up the omnipresent rocks. The largest waterfall is nicknamed “The Washing Machine” and is located quite a distance up river washing machine makes the entire experience, honestly. You won’t understand why it got its name until you get inside, ha. You’ll tumble about just like an article of clothing (but in a good way).
