  🌿 Why Visit YS Falls? YS Falls is one of Jamaica’s most beautiful natural attractions—less commercial than places like Dunn’s River and tucked into the quiet, rural beauty of St. Elizabeth. It combines a mixture of adventure and calm: waterfalls, natural pools, ziplining, and an open countryside. Whether you're solo like I was or coming with families and friends, it offers a serene escape from the tourist-heavy coastlines . 📍 I boarded the bus early in the morning at Halfway Tree , the central pick-up point in Kingston, where the group was organised, and we quickly got on the road.

We also stopped at GasMart Station , a clean and convenient spot for stretching your legs or grabbing a bottle of water before continuing the drive. Once...
