In Honduras, cultural immersion is just one of many experiences for visitors. The Garifuna (or Garinagu) are descendants of African slaves who intermarried with the Carib Indians when shipwrecked near the island of St. Vincent in 1635. Today, there are many Garifuna communities along Honduras' North Coast and in the Bay Islands. The small fishing communities are known for their language, music and dance, recognized by UNESCO as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”. Visitors to Honduras can arrange visits to one of these communities through a tour operator, most commonly in the Tela Bay area, La Ceiba, Cayos Cochinos and Roatan.
