If you want a true cultural experience Belize style Uwahnie's is the place to go. The accommodations are rustic - think camping out with beds, walls, roof, indoor commode, and electric lights (the shower is outside and you have to recharge your electronics in the office). But the experience is top notch - except for the bugs but more of that later. Uwahnie and her dad Eugene are experts on the Garifuna people. Eugene taught us a bit about the history of the people and then led us in cooking up a traditional meal in the old way - think opening a coconut hull with a sharp stick, cooking over an open flame etc. Uwahnie grows medicinal herbs and believes in traditional remedies but my tender flesh was too attractive to the biting insects and I wouldn't advise traveling without Jungle Juice and Benadrly - if you do get bit Uwahnie has aloe vera to help sooth the savage bite.
