Garifuna Cultural Tour

After we've picked you up from your hotel in Placencia, we'll head towards the Garifuna village of Seine Bight.

The Garifuna are a community descended from Arawak, Kalinago and Afro-Caribbean indigenous groups. They are present in several Central American countries, including Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Belize, with a concentration in Seine Bight.

As we stroll through the village, local representatives will discuss the customs, traditions, and culture of the Garifuna people. We will share a traditional lunch that includes dishes from Garifuna gastronomy, highlighting a blend of African and Caribbean flavors made with rice, fish, and corn.

After lunch, we'll learn about Garifuna culture, including their traditional music and dances. Attend a percussion workshop to play drums, maracas, and other instruments. There will also be an opportunity to learn a Garifuna dance.

We will say our goodbyes and return to Placencia, arriving at your hotel by 4 PM.
