The Blue Mountains are a mountainous region of Jamaica. It is the largest mountain range in Jamaica. They include the island's highest point, Blue Mountain Peak, at 2256 m. From the summit, accessible via a walking track, both the North and South coasts of the island can be seen. On a clear day, the outline of the island Cuba, 210 km away, can be seen. As one of the longest continuous mountain ranges in the Caribbean, the Blue Mountains dominate the eastern third of Jamaica, while bordering the eastern parishes of Portland and St. Thomas and St. Andrew to the south. The Blue Mountains form a cooling relief from the sweltering heat of Kingston below. These summits rise and fall along for 24 miles long and 14 miles at its widest point, where the temperature decreases from around 27°C at sea level to 5°C at Blue Mountain Peak, just 16 km inland. This climatic diversity has enabled the high rainfall that feeds the lush vegetation, which includes towering trees and over 500 species offlowering plants, of which half are found nowhere else on earth.
