The audience becomes the performer in this hour-long experience. Visitors to Batalla can experience and participate first-hand in the lively folkloric dances and spiritual Garífuna singing, a cultural richness that is often invisible to travelers passing through. Evenings end with a buffet of traditional foods like seafood soup with conch and shrimp and pan de coco, or coconut bread.

Trip goers stay on the lookout for tropical monkeys dangling from high-above perches as parrots and storks peek out from the forest. It's possible to spot an endangered Caribbean manatee gliding slowly below.
