Stann Creek District, often called “The Cultural Heartbeat of Belize,” is a vibrant mix of Garifuna heritage, lush jungles, and pristine beaches. Its capital, Dangriga, is considered the cultural capital of Belize — the birthplace of Punta Rock and home to some of the country’s most iconic festivals and traditions. Stann Creek offers visitors a blend of coastal beauty and mountain adventure, where every corner tells a story of resilience, rhythm, and roots.
