Green Grotto Caves
Green Grotto Caves are famous for its many speleothems which give the impression of a complex labyrinth as the visitor descends down through the cave to the Green Lake. Here, 36m below surface the visitor goes on a boat ride. In the depth of the lake many stalagmites can be seen, proof that at one time the water table was much lower than it is today.

The cave is rich in history and the first inhabitants were the Arawak Indians (Tainos) who found shelter here. Excavations have produced many fragments of pottery and stone tools. Later when Jamaica was a British colony the caves were used as a hideout by the Spaniards who were being driven out of the country.

Later the caves were used by the escaping slaves who used to hide in the caves, hence the name Runaway Caves.
