Belize

Two hours in a Maya kitchen in a Maya village — corn ground by hand, spices mixed, everything cooked over an open flame.

A Maya kitchen in the morning, a cacao farm in the afternoon — and chocolate you make with your own hands.

Weave a basket with a Garifuna elder, cook hudut over an open fire, then drum. A full day of craft, food and rhythm on our island.

A guided night paddle of an hour and a half to two hours on Fresh Water Creek Lagoon in Hopkins, Belize, where the water can glow with every stroke. Small groups.

An early-morning paddle at first light to watch the birds, followed by breakfast. Four and a half hours from 6:00 AM.

Six hours from Hopkins to a cassava farm in Sarawee: bake your own cassava and taste the foods made from it.

A Garifuna cooking class in the afternoon, then a guided night paddle to see the lagoon glow. Five hours from 3:30 PM.

A seven-hour day from 9:30 AM: a cooking class and chocolate making in the village of Maya Center.

Four hours on Kalipuna Island: the Herbal Healing Trail, then drumming, singing and dancing together.

Two hours: a walk through our herbal garden and healing trail, then a one-hour deep-tissue massage using traditional Garifuna techniques and natural oils.
