Hagley Gap is a settlement in Saint Thomas parish in southeastern Jamaica. It is a farming village, located 10 miles (16 km) from Kingston near the top of the Blue Mountains, whose primary source of revenue is Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
Hagley Gap is roughly a 7-mile (11 km) hike from the Blue Mountain Peak, which is a destination for hiking and camping enthusiasts. In order to reach the peak at sunrise after the 3 to 5 hour hike, night time hikes are common. The peak has a view of both the north and south coasts of Jamaica.
The Blue Mountain Project (BMP) is a nonprofit organization which has partnered with the community of Hagley Gap. Over the last 12 years, they have built a medical clinic, brought internet access, and improved education in the community, as well as providing job training.[1]
