: Immerse yourself in the fascinating and colorful culture of the local Rastafari movement, as you take part in the daily life of a remote mountain village. Jamaican Reggae legend Bob Marley brought worldwide attention to his fellow Rastafari in the 1970's; but the beliefs and culture of these creative and welcoming people remain widely misunderstood.
During your visit, through fun, hands-on activities, you'll gain a unique understanding of the history and beliefs of this storied movement. Take part in traditional Rastafari crafts, like jewelry design, drum carving, soap making and more. Learn about Jamaica's powerful medicinal herbs, enjoy a delicious meal of authentic "ital" dishes and best of all you will be able to enjoy the music of the drums played by the talented musicians of the village.

Special Notes:

Recommend wearing comfortable, modest clothing and closed-toe shoes. Bring water shoes to cross a small river, sun glasses, sunscreen, hat, umbrella or raincoat, cash for souvenirs. Minimum age to participate 8 years old .
