    My partner and I enjoyed spending several hours at Palmento Grove, learning all about the history, culture, food, and music of the Garifuna. Our hosts were kind and very knowledgeable, and made us all feel welcome. We especially loved getting to cook the hudutu, and learning about the medicinal plants on the island. Would highly recommend this tour, and supporting this cultural center!
