#6228 Living Like the Garifuna in Cayos Cochinos, Honduras
The Cayos Cochinos archipelago off the coast of La Ceiba, Honduras is a haven for divers and snorkelers. But the most memorable experience lies in the Garifuna village on tiny Chachauate Key. The island's inhabitants reside in basic huts, making a living through fishing and the occasional motorboat of tourists from La Ceiba or Roatan. For $7, enjoy an authentic Garifuna meal of deep-fried fish—bones, eyes and all—crunchy plantain chips, and rice and beans. If you're feeling bold, chance a swallow of Garifuna Giffitty: a fiery liquor brewed from local herbs. Then hop in a hammock—or bucket boat—and celebrate the most languid of lifestyles through pure relaxation.
