Visit Bamboo Avenue
Bamboo Avenue is located about 30 km (20 miles) or so north of Black River. Black River is a village located on the south-west shore of Jamaica. The main highway circumnavigating and bisecting Jamaica, highway A2, passes right through Black River.
Due to a little "liquid sunshine" when we were traversing the avenue, we did not get out to get still shots, or at least some more video that wasn't quite so hair raising as the one below. Sorry about that. As well, there could be a few more locations to stop safely, anyway.
There are fruit stands along the way and you can also purchase some local Jamaican crafts at some of those stands.
A word of caution. We rented a taxi and driver for a few day trips while visiting Jamaica. Renting the taxi was fine. It was the shortage of comfortable rest stops... OK, bathrooms, that sometimes made the trip a little painful, particularly with the jouncing the roads in Jamaica almost always give you. :-)
Please enjoy the short video below, and do visit Bamboo Avenue when in Jamaica, if you get the chance. It is worth the trip.
