The journey from Kingston to Ocho Rios follows a spectacular route, up the gorge of the Rio Cobre, then across Mount Diablo. Faith’s Pen, right on the top, is an enormous collection of huts selling food and drink, mostly jerk chicken, pork or fish, festival, boiled or roasted corn, soup and natural juices or sodas, and great for a stop. The last section of road whizzes round a series of blind corners as you go through Fern Gully, a marvel of unspoilt tropical vegetation. Driving time is one hour 50 minutes by bus. Alternatively, take a minibus from the Texaco petrol station on Da Costa Drive, Ocho Rios (US$0.30 to Fern Gully). There are lots of minibuses for the return journey.
