Day 1: Amerindian Fever!

Have you ever imagined yourself indulging in Amerindian culture for just one day? Well here is your chance! After that exciting train ride, dancing to sweet soca and calypso music, hop off the train into the Amerindian town of Arima where you will experience the Clever Woods Recreational Park facility. On entering this foreign place you will be given choices of various types of Amerindian style clothing to wear for the day. Bleechcloth and leggings for men or skirts and leggings for the women.

After dressing up you will be allowed to interact with Amerindian artifacts such as fishing utensils (canoe, bow and arrow), drawings and furniture. You will be the chef of the day as you will be directed to prepare your own  Amerinidian style lunch, for example, cassava bread with stewed iguana or corn pastelles.

Later on you will be encouraged to show your dancing skills by trying the Amerindian Chain and Rain dances. Finally, after the days activities you will be given the option to return to the luxurious train cabins to lay your head or continue your Amerindian experience by sleeping in a cosy Ajoupe hut in preparation for the following day's activities.
