I am a born traveler and natural student of learning always searching for knowledge and new horizons to reach evident in the history of my people searching for places to enjoy coming from the Mother Land into Caribbean and across the Americas. Like my ancestors, I like to share my world, see new places and discover new experiences. My life of traveling and touring makes me appreciate my home more where peace and tranquility is at the heart of my daily life. Walking the beaches, swimming the sea, farming the land and living what my ancestors had yearned and fought for, independence, freedom and peace of mind is what I would love to share with you.

Overview of your Belize City tour

Let's spend a day together and take a private tour to learn about the life of the Garifuna people in Belize! Our history of struggle and survival over the last 200 years is so interesting that UNESCO designated my culture a "masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity" in 2001. Come engage in activities of the daily life starting with a hands-on preparation of cultural dishes, which you will have the privilege of sampling them. Thereafter, you will get the opportunity to learn about arts and crafts which is an integral part of Garifuna life. What you will get to see is the art of drum making by one of our local artisan followed by a musical presentation where you will get to dance with one of our local cultural groups. We will also travel by historical sites featuring cultural icons while enjoying the peace and beauty Belize has to offer to the world.
