Garifuna culture in Hopkins, Belize

People of Belize

Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America. It is as diverse as it is tiny. Whereas the Garifuna often live by the Carribean coast, Belize’s wild west has more of a Latino population. Life is slow and relaxed in Belize, and so are the locals. Especially in the Coastal area, you’ll meet lots of Rastas from Garifuna and Creole descent.
