Description
We'll arrive in Charles Town after an hour and a half, which is home to one of the country's major Maroon communities. We'll then go to the Maroon Museum, where you'll learn more about this community's history and struggle for independence.
The Maroons are a group of people who were brought to Jamaica as slaves in the 18th century and battled for the country's independence. They now declare themselves to be self-governing communities of ex-slaves.
You'll be able to observe residents performing traditional music and dances while we visit Charles Town; it'll be an authentic experience like no other!
