You don't have to go all the way to Africa to sample the rich cultural
heritage of African peoples. One of the most interesting groups of people on the planet live right here in Belize. Like the
Mayan who still live here, the Garifuna people are one of our national treasures.
Descended of slaves shipwrecked off the coast of Belize these hearty
people carved out a life for themselves against all odds. You can learn more about the people and their history by visiting
the place where they live, Hopkins Village, Belize.
