Next, we make way through a winding road leading to Fern Gully a unique rain-forest which boast hundreds of different varieties of ferns. Many writers such as Marianne North, Lady Brassey, Antonio Gallenga wrote about Gully Road on their Voyages to Ocho Rios. No one knows the origin of the Fern Gully but it is said that it was possibly started out with an underground river flowing through caves and later the roofs collapsed revealing Fern Gully to the world. Others have suggested that it formed in the 1760s by a flash flood. Here you will you will encounter amazing fern vegetation as you travel through this ancient gully. There will be a stop along the way where you can purchase a souvenir from one of the many craft vendors in the Gully.
