Blue Mountains is the largest mountain range in Jamaica that stretches for 28 miles (45 km) across this Caribbean Island. The highest peak is Blue Mountain Peak, which is 2,256 meters above sea level, making it the highest mountain in Jamaica. The Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, which is grown on the mountain slopes of the same name, is one of the most expensive and one of the best in the world.
In May 1655, a British expedition led by Admiral William Penn and General Robert Venables seized the island, still sparsely populated, after failing to take Santo Domingo. The Spaniards flee after having freed their slaves. Scattered in the jungle, they create dozens of secret villages on the northern slope of the Blue Mountains with recrystallized and dolomitic limestone soil, and in the "Cockpit country", pierced by bowl-shaped depressions and watered by enormous rainfall.
