A trip to Montego Bay is not complete without visiting the Luminous Lagoon, next to the Martha Brae River. This river is home to a curious phosphorescent microbe that lives in these warm Caribbean waters. The constant movement of the water causes the microbes to move and glow a stunning neon green color. The phosphorescence is so marked that the fish swimming in the lagoon have been compared to moving stars. That is why we recommend going to visit the Laguna Luminosa, since it is a unique experience in the world, in which the traveler will be able to see one of the most illuminating curiosities of our planet. The hectic activity of tourist boats and swimmers only enhances the effect. This phenomenon of microbial phosphorescence can only be observed in four places in the world, and the Luminous Lagoon of Jamaica is considered the best place on the planet to live this experience. Visiting the Luminosa Lagoon is special, whether it is with your partner, with friends or with the family, since it is for all tastes.
