Introducing our most exciting tour ever. The Braco Hike and Bike Excursion! Where it’s
all about having fun, experiencing the
land, learning about Jamaica’s
indigenous flora and fauna…all with the
added bonus of getting fit. Now that’s
an awesome vacation!
For many persons, discovering a country
becomes even more delightful when one
seeks the road less traveled and tours
on foot or on bicycle. This way we can
savor the scenery and immerse ourselves
in the sights, sounds and rhythm of the
local countryside.
Braco First…Take a Hike!
The Braco
Hike and Bike Excursion begins with an
energizing sightseeing walk. You may
power along or stroll at your preferred
pace up the moderate incline of Braco
Hill, then through a canopied tropical
forest.. a haven for the Island’s
fascinating variety of birds and
butterflies. The view from our Look Out
Point is
spectacular! Take a moment here
to pause, exhale and slowly drink in the
panoramic sweep of the magnificent
coastline and the grassy sun-kissed
hills and valleys of the hinterland.
The tour continues along Pimento Walk
where the fragrance of All-Spice (a
prime Island export in a bygone era)
sweetens the air, and luxuriant sprays
of exotic wild orchids abound. Then it’s
through lush, tranquil pastures warmed by the
sun, and down shady trails bordered with
tufts of soft ferns.
There surely is no better way to
invigorate body and spirit than in this
inspiring natural setting!
This 2 mile hike takes about 60 minutes
with an elevated change of approximately
300/400 feet. Our friendly and
experienced guides will accompany, you
throughout, and there is absolutely no
speed limit.
Braco Then...Get a Grip!
Now
its time to rev it up a notch and
get those muscles toned and taut! On
this leg we invite you to take
a
fun
and
relaxing 30-minute cycle over gently
undulating terrain, past the stables,
through sun-drenched hedgerows of
vibrant
bougainvillea and local farmland
and
head for the beach!
Braco Finally…Say
Ahhhhh!
The gentle waves are welcoming
and you may wish to enjoy a cool,
refreshing dip before cycling back to
Braco Estate where your tour ends.
