Photo Description
Tourists sitting on bamboo river rafts. In the distance are bamboo trees, some with cut stalks, along the river banks. Port Antonio, Portland, Jamaica was originally a banana port, where rivers like the Rio Grande were used to transport bananas from the island’s interior to cargo ships. Errol Flynn is credited for popularizing bamboo rafting because he encouraged his friends and visitors to take these rafts for fun. Slide labeled Port Antonio rafts on river Jamaica.
