Two Sisters cave, Hellshire, Jamaica
Legend has it that late one night, two slave sisters made a daring escape from a sugar plantation and headed for the hills. After days of running through the bushes and climbing some rather rocky mountains, the siblings ended up in Hellshire. There, they discovered the two ancient caves which, though a few feet away from each other, are linked by a single stream.
Early one morning the sisters heard the shouts of their approaching hunters and knew that they were about to be discovered. Instead of accepting that they would have to return to a life of servitude, the sisters decided that they would make the ultimate sacrifice. The story is that the sisters held hands and jumped into the black waters of the caves to their ultimate demise.

Two Sisters cave, Hellshire, Jamaica
The cave contains a petroglyph carving of a face which is about seven hundred years old. Based on the fact that the Tainos drew effigies of themselves and their gods as a sign of their respect for their gods and that the caves contain no evidence of being the homes of any Tainos, it is believed that they were mainly used for ceremonial purposes. No cameras are allowed inside the cave however so not petroglyph pictures.

Two Sisters Cave is located in the Hellshire Hills, St. Catherine. Each cave has a large sink hole, which contains fresh water. It is possible that these reservoirs served as sources of fresh water for the Tainos. This natural cavern and the tunnel beneath are interconnected with many other caverns and tunnels over this whole limestone area which extends for miles in all directions.

The little shop that could.
This building is perched on a very steep incline and at first glance it seems as if it’s about to topple over. I was told that it has been standing just like this for over a decade and has without several storms and hurricanes.
