Most Garifuna villages in Honduras are dependent upon fishing, which is carried out using hand fishing lines, nets and hand-made dugout canoes.

The Garifuna use what nature offers.  The local agriculture is incorporated into their diets and dishes, such as “La machuca”, a food made of mashed green plantains with coconut milk soup and fried fish.  This would be enjoyed with “cassava”, which looks similar to a large fragile tortilla, and is made from the yuca root.

The Honduras Garifuna populate a variety of coastal areas on the mainland, such as La Ceiba and Tela. The island of Roatan has a large Garifuna population that also inhabits the surrounding cays/keys.
