Jamaica Giants sculpture park, art galleries

The trek up in my little cr was bloody brilliant, it gave a sense of adventure. Friendly locals alo g the way. When I got the I was greeted by the guide wrinkles, what a true gentleman or rastaman as he preferred!!as he showed me round the art work, he gave interesting g info bout what we were seeing, never was I bored. I loved the stories he told about the sculptures which help me to understand them more. I saw a hummingbird which as this is the national bird and is included in many of the pieces of art, was fitting. The views from upstairs, I can't even describe. I was in awe and had to keep catcjmhing my breath. It isn't cheap, but I would pay it again. Its worth the trek. Brilliant visit. Thank you so much wrinkles!!!

We had to turn back in our Mazda sedan 2 miles short of the park via wharf way. Wish someone had said that an SUV is needed . Disappointed

Hidden gem in a remote place. We strongly recommend doing this early in your trip. You can drive there yourself, it's accessible despite horrible road conditions, but very stressful, so I recommend taking a shuttle, especially if you have a small car. The gallery contains stone sculptures of Jamaican animals and people, especially the Rastafarian culture. Most of the sculptures are outside and are carved by an artist in residence that uses the stones from the area. After the sculptures, there is a large house, in which there are more works of art, mainly paintings. These paintings are done by another artist in residence. The paintings and the explanation of them by the tour guide depict Jamaica's landscapes and culture in high detail. This is why it is good to come at the beginning of the trip, as we felt some of the paintings offered previews of many of the places that we saw later on in the trip. Then we went on the balcony, which offered a breathtaking 360 view of the island. We went to various locations in the island and found no other place that offered such a view. Great place for pictures. The guide was the cousin of the owner, an elderly Rastafarian gentleman who took his time explaining every piece, whether it was a sculpture, or a painting, providing anecdotes or the history behind them. He also gifted us with a soursop as a souvenir and it was delicious. Overall, the experience took about 2 hours. The price is $40/person.
