Livingston is a small town at the mouth of the Río Dulce on Guatemala's short Caribbean coast, accessible only by boat and populated primarily by the Afro-Caribbean Garífuna community. The town's distinct cultural blend of Maya, African, and Caribbean influences is expressed in music, punta dance traditions, and local cuisine featuring coconut-based seafood preparations. The boat journey up the Río Dulce from Livingston passes through a narrow jungle gorge with sheer limestone walls.
