Introduction	Hi my name is Lyra Spang! I am an anthropologist, Belizean tour guide, writer and organic farmer. I live in Placencia, Belize where I own and operate the boutique company Taste Belize Tours which offers unique food and culture focused tours and cooking classes for visitors looking for a different vacation experience. Our mission is to connect our guests with the heart and soul of Belize and its people through the food, farming and fishing that form the backbone of our culinary traditions. Our tours complement and transcend the restaurant experience allowing guests to explore the breadth of Belizean cuisine from the farm, forest and sea to the table in communities across Southern Belize. We do this in a sustainable manner by partnering with small businesses, individuals who share our passion for farm to table production and Belizean food and culture.
