Discover the real Jamaica, removed from, but close enough to, the beach scene. With a rich legacy, Accompong remains an independent, sovereign state formed in 1738 by runaway slaves when they defeated the British. Maroon values of respect, autonomy, and freedom remain alive. Walk the same paths as the founders, such as to the Kindah Tree where strategy was planned and to the Peace Cave where the Treaty was signed. Talking with the founders’ descendents is easy as you stroll through town where you are greeted by elders and youth. The town is small and transportation is not needed to get around. (Driver available for those needing assistance.) There are several walking trails to visit historic landmarks or unique ecosystem outcrops and guides are available. Route taxis are available to get to nearby towns. Charter taxis can be arranged easily.
