One of the most photographed spots in Jamaica, this huge tunnel is made up of bamboo up to 40 feet tall.

Somewhat thinned by hurricane damage, this still is one of the nicest and certainly the longest bamboo avenue around.

Creating bamboo walks like this one was once a common practice in Jamaica's mountainous areas.

The bamboo was planted, one young shoot at a time, to form a canopy that helps preserve dirt roads from erosion.
