There’s a brand-new adventure park in Jamaica.

Negril’s JamWest Motorsports and Adventure Park includes a Zipline, a Jeep safari, ATV driving and a walking trail across a 700-acre estate.

The site also includes the only place in Jamaica where one can test drive an RX-8 Mazda sports car.

The latter is on a circuit and drag racing track called the Speedway.

On the natural side, there is a mineral pool said to have healing qualities.

So what are you waiting for?
