Dit kun je verwachten

Terwijl je door het noorden van Jamaica trekt, ontdek je de cultuur en geschiedenis van het eiland. Je bezoekt het Charles Town Maroon Museum waar je meer te weten komt over de vrijheidsstrijd van de Marrons. Ook schuif je aan voor een lunch en je slentert over het Sun Valley boerenlandgoed om vers fruit en groenten te proeven. Jada, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "De Jamaicaanse Marrons hebben een trots en fascinerend verleden. Ze zijn afstammelingen van tot slaaf gemaakte West-Afrikanen die ontsnapten uit plantages. Ze stichtten gemeenschappen die Maroon Towns worden genoemd. Deze gemeenschappen behielden hun Afrikaanse wortels. De Marroncultuur staat dan ook bekend om zijn levendige muziek, dans, verhalen, kruidengeneeskunde en keuken.”

Eerst bezoek je de Sun Valley Plantation, een kleine boerderij waar je door tuinen wandelt om tropische bloemen te bekijken. En je proeft wat fruit en groenten die hier worden verbouwd. Ook zie je hoe de lokale bevolking hier al generaties lang het land bewerkt. Dan neem je een kijkje bij de Charles Town Basic School, een kleine school in het hart van de Charles Town Maroon gemeenschap. Daarna ga je naar het Charles Town Maroon Museum - met een schat aan voorwerpen afkomstig van de Marroncultuur, zoals traditionele kleding, wapens en muziekinstrumenten. Je ontdekt de lange vrijheidsstrijd van de Marrons en hun belangrijke rol in de geschiedenis van Jamaica.

Van al die indrukken krijg je trek, dus je komt even bij met een lunch van traditionele Jamaicaanse gerechten. Je eet als een lokale inwoner. En het uitzicht op de kust maakt het plaatje helemaal af.
