TRIUNFO DE LA CRUZ 

Garifuna communities and culture in Honduras.

Triunfo de la Cruz is the largest and most important Garifuna village in Central America. It has nearly 10,000 residents and is home to a large part of Punta Izopo Wildlife Refuge.

Garifuna people arrived in Triunfo in 1797 and have their own culture which constitutes the major cultural richness of the country, with their own dialect spoken 100%, gastronomy, voodoo rites and music (Punta and Yancunu).

The atmosphere of this Afrocaribbean village is very joyful, warm, quiet and safe. If you are looking to rest in the sea, for a jungle excursion, to be in contact with a genuine culture or stretch your legs on a Saturday night, Triunfo de la Cruz satisfies all tastes!
