Jamaica has a population of about 2.8 million, with English as the official language and Jamaican Patois widely spoken in daily life. Its currency is the Jamaican Dollar (JMD), and the climate is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round and a rainy season from May to November.
Visitors are drawn to Jamaica for its music, beaches, mountains, and easy rhythm of life. You can relax on the white sands of Negril, explore Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios, hike through the Blue Mountains, or visit Kingston to experience reggae’s birthplace and the legacy of Bob Marley. Jamaican cuisine is bold and flavorful, featuring dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, ackee and saltfish, and fresh tropical fruits such as mango, guava, and breadfruit. The population is primarily of African descent, and culture is deeply rooted in music, dance, and storytelling. Reggae, dancehall, and Rastafari traditions blend with Maroon history and island festivals like Carnival to create the vibrant spirit that defines Jamaica.
