Things to do?

How do I get around?
Punta Gorda is 16 miles east of Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport. A sign will direct you to turn left from the Carretera Principal into the community. Be careful if you rent a car, because the last 6 miles you travel will be rough road with many potholes. The trip from the airport will take around an hour.

Where can I eat?
Punta Gorda is the go-to place to experience Garifuna cuisine, a unique Caribbean taste that includes Machuca, which features a sort of dumpling made of plantains, and tapado, a seafood stew. Popular restaurants include Wagundan and Yurumei.
