 The Legend of Martha Brae The legend tells of an old Arawak witch, who lived on the banks of the River Matibereon.
Having heard tales of the Arawak gold, Spanish treasure hunters captured the witch to lead them to the treasure. Pretending to comply she led them into a cave, then suddenly disappeared.
Frightened, the Spaniards ran out of the cave but the river engulfed them.
The witch then changed the course of the river forever. Passed on by mouth the legend still lives on. Twisted translations produced the English version of river Matibereon:

The Green Grotto Caves The Green Grotto Caves are Jamaica's most prominent natural attractions with visitors of international repute dating back as far as the 18th century.
The central feature of this natural attraction is the large labyrinthine limestone cave with its numerous rock formations, its stalactites, stalagmites and abundance of overhead ceiling pockets.
The history of the Green Grotto cave can be identified with different groups of people. The first Jamaicans, the Arawak Indians (Tainos) found shelter in the caves initially. Proof of this is evident in the multiple fragments of pottery and adzes that are unearthed from time to time. During the period of take-over by the English, the caves were used as a hideout for the Spaniards who were being driven out of the country.
Today the Green Grotto Caves attraction is being developed to include a nature park and reserve. They are owned by the Urban Development Corporation and operated by the St Ann Development Company.
