Explore all aspects of the Jungle from swimming, bird-watching, river tubing, hiking, waterfalls, bluffs and views!

No more feeling like you're on a vegan island by yourself, no more worrying about what's in the food, no more wondering if there are other friends out there like you...THERE ARE and it's a priceless feeling to be able to have these deep discussions about who you really want to be in this world. And, we love bringing you all together!

Let's get moving, let's celebrate our bodies and our lives. The Punta dance is a traditional Garifuna dance used to reaffirm and express the struggle felt by the indigenous population's common heritage through cultural art forms, such as dance and music, and to highlight their strong sense of endurance as well as reconnecting back to the ancestors of the Garifuna people. That's us women coming through our lives. Let's have some fun celebrating that.
