The Guango Tree, this is one of the most beautiful trees I have ever seen. It’s seemingly impossible to fit the massive 100+ year old beauty into a picture. Pictures don’t do it justice, it’s just magical. Chris says that he bought the tree, everything else just come with it. It’s the tree he fell in love with.

Pantrepant is an organic farm and retreat owned by Chris Blackwell, the man who discovered Bob Marley, The Wailers, U2, The B52’s and many more. He is the founder and former owner of Island Records.

We were welcomed with a fresh coconut water. It was wonderful to hydrate in the humid sweaty climate, sounds hot… Nope, it’s paradise.

This little black lamb was definitely my favorite thing here at Pantrepant.

Lion, Pantrepant’s resident Rastafarian, was living on the farm when Chris Blackwell bought it.

How beautiful this water is, refreshing in the wet sticky heat.

Pleasantly greeted with a refreshing rum punch.
