Hopkins Village, Belize

Hopkins is a Garifuna village that has recently been discovered by travelers as a wonderful place to visit. In town, you will find a rich culture that is evident in the local cuisine, festivals, residents, and much more. This small city sits on the central coast, about an hour drive north of the lovely Placencia Village and other towns on the scenic Placencia Peninsula. The Sittee River flows just to the south of the village, and to the west are the Maya Mountains and the protected jungles of inland Belize. In town you can sample the local cuisine, enjoy a cold drink on the long stretch of beach, and stroll around striking up conversations with the friendly locals, who just might teach you a few words in the Garifuna language or point you toward a cultural music performance.
