The Garífuna are an Afro-Indigenous group primarily found in coastal regions of Central America, particularly in countries like Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Their unique culture is a blend of African, Arawakan, and Carib influences, stemming from the arrival of enslaved Africans and the indigenous populations of the Caribbean islands. The Garífuna language, a mix of Arawakan and Carib languages, is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Their vibrant traditions include music, dance, and culinary practices, with the famous punta dance and dishes like hudut showcasing their rich cultural heritage.
