Step into the soul of Belize with this authentic Garifuna and Maya Cultural Foodie Tour from Hopkins.

Begin your day on Kalipuna Cultural Heritage Island, home to the vibrant Garifuna people. Learn about their deep ancestral heritage, participate in interactive storytelling, drumming and join local cooks to prepare a traditional Garifuna dish made from fresh, organic island ingredients. Feel the rhythm, taste the flavors, and soak in the island’s serene atmosphere.

Afterward, travel inland to a Maya community, where you’ll take part in a hands-on chocolate-making session — from a visit to an organic cacao farm, roasting cacao beans to grinding them on a traditional stone metate. Learn about the cultural and spiritual importance of cacao to the Maya civilization and enjoy your own rich, hand-crafted chocolate treat.
