Hiking Cunha Cunha Pass Trail

Let Mokko and Harry be your guides on the five mile Cunha Cunha Pass trail which links the parishes of Portland at Bowden Pen and St. Thomas at Hayfield, Jamaica. This site represents some of the most intensive battles between the British Colonists and the African run-away slaves-the Maroons.

On the trail visitors are exposed to the history of the Maroons as well as the fauna and flora of the Blue Mountains. A significant part of the trail and the nearby Corn Puss Gap trail are part of the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park.
