Siente el amor en Nine Mile con una peregrinación al lugar de descanso final de Bob Marley para rendir homenaje a la estrella más grande de reggae del mundo. Luego acércate a otro icono de Jamaica, si bien totalmente diferente, en las cataratas del río Dunn. Por lo general, Nine Mile estaría tan lejos de los caminos trillados como pueda imaginarse, pero los devotos de Marley la han convertido en un camino frecuentado para adorar a su ídolo en el lugar de nacimiento del rey del reggae y poner la cabeza sobre la ‘almohada de roca’ rasta, donde él descansaba la suya en busca de inspiración. Aquí, los nativos han llegado a lanzarse a interpretaciones espontáneas de One Love y otras canciones. Bob Marley era más que una leyenda en Jamaica y no hace falta decir que el aire está lleno de emoción en Nine Mile. Visita la choza donde Marley creció, la cama donde cantó Is This Love y la iglesia de estilo etíope que es su mausoleo.
A continuación, pasamos de una leyenda de la música a una del cine cuando llegamos a las impresionantes cataratas del río Dunn. Las cataratas aparecen en Dr. No, cuando Sean Connery y Ursula Andress (James Bond y Honey Rider) se divirtieron a lo grande en los rápidos. La famosa escena de Andress saliendo del agua fue filmada en la playa del río Dunn, que es donde el río desemboca en el Caribe.
Se puede subir a las cataratas, que se extienden a través de casi 185 metros (600 pies) y relajarse en las numerosos mini-piscinas naturales que salpican los diferentes niveles.
