In Ocho Rios (Jamaica) you will find colourful buses and private SUVs heading out to the museum and the mausoleum of national hero Bob Marley.
The journey north goes along inland roads, where you can witness island life; one and a half hours of lush landscapes and typical houses up to the village where he was born, Nine Mile. There you will find the most revered temple for Rastafarians worldwide.
After passing under a picture of the musician, with the inscription "One Love", a guided tour begins that includes several reggae music performances, a collection of Marley's personal and artistic objects and the entrance to his grave, where you must take off your shoes out of respect.
