A journey to Punta Gorda to experience the culture. It has a beautiful mix of Garifuna, Mayan, East Indians, Chinese, and Mestizo people. It’s also right on the coast just a short distance away from Guatemala and Honduras. It’s a lush area of rainforest, receiving more rain than most areas of Belize, and being home of many farmers, including organic farmers of cacao, and cashew, among others. I got a traditional African-Carribean style drum made by a local craftsman, and had a great time meeting people.
