Authentic Cultural Experiences

Authentic experiences can include anything that is true and natural to a destination. As with many other destinations, cultural experiences centre on food. When it comes to wellness travel, the concepts of “eating locally” and “farm-to-table” are typically front-and-centre. One farm-to-table experience you won’t want to miss is a visit to Antigua’s Colesome Farmers Market. Located 25 minutes from the capital city of St. John’s, the working farm, farmers market and on-site vegan restaurant are a great spot to explore the hyperlocal harvest plus enjoy some traditional dishes. Another way to “taste the culture” and learn about the Antiguan & Barbudan cuisine is with the Eat ‘n Lime Food Tours offering easy walking food tours through the city of St. John’s. colesomefarmersmarket.com; eatnlimefoodtours.com
