PrettyClose1876: Waterfalls, Dog Friends, and Morning Bliss

Touring PrettyClose1876: Waterfalls, Dog Friends, and Morning Bliss. I recently did a tour to one of my favorite places on the island—PrettyClose1876—and it was a complete success.

There’s something so special about showing my travelers the spots I hold close to my heart, and seeing the joy on their faces when they discover a beautiful part of Jamaica for the first time—it’s everything.

A Peaceful Morning at Orchid Waterfall. We arrived early and wasted no time making our way to Orchid Waterfall. This was the first waterfall I ever discovered at PrettyClose1876—a moment I shared with my brother—and from that day forward, it became my favorite spot in St. Andrew.

To make the adventure even better, we had a few dog friends who joined us for the journey. They followed us all the way to the river, wagging tails and all.

One of the things I love about PrettyClose1876 is how every step of the way is filled with beauty—mini swimming pools, vibrant greenery, and peaceful hideaways leading you to each waterfall on the property.

I love this place so much, I’ve written over five blog posts about it already. And guess what? Another one is on the way.

The Journey to Governor Waterfall. After soaking in the vibes at Orchid Waterfall, we hiked to Governor Waterfall—a journey of about ten minutes, and worth every single step.

 Our canine companions kept up like pros, climbing the big stones with ease and never once complaining. I think they love this place just as much as I do.

When we arrived, Governor Waterfall was in full display mode. It never fails to impress. The water was crisp and cold, especially that early in the morning—but it was so refreshing. We all took a dip, letting the waterfall wash away any tiredness or stress we brought with us.

 A Fruitful Finish. Breakfast was simple but perfect—fresh fruits enjoyed beside the waterfall, surrounded by the sounds of nature. We took our final dip, captured a few more memories, and made our way back, hearts full.

Ready for Your Own Adventure? If you’ve ever been to PrettyClose1876, then you already know—this place is addictive.
